    If the rotational speed of earth is increased then weight of a body at the equator

    A)  increases                           

    B)  decreases

    C)  becomes double            

    D)  does not change

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The acceleration due to gravity (g) at the equator is given by \[g=g-{{R}_{e}}\,\,{{\omega }^{2}}\] where co is angular velocity, and R the radius of earth. When a) is increased, then g decreases. Since, weight = mg, hence it will also decrease.
