    The angular speed of the earths rotation about its axis is \[{{10}^{29}}\]. Its speed increases x times to make effective acceleration due to gravity equal to zero. At the equator, x is

    A)  \[250\times {{10}^{-3}}m/s\]                                    

    B)  \[25\times {{10}^{-3}}m/s\]

    C)  \[2.50\times {{10}^{-3}}m/s\]                                   

    D)  \[1.25\times {{10}^{3}}m/s\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Acceleration due to gravity at equator \[g=g-{{R}_{e}}{{\omega }^{2}}\] \[0=g-{{R}_{e}}{{(x\omega )}^{2}}\] \[g={{R}_{e}}{{x}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}\] \[x=\sqrt{\frac{g}{{{R}_{e}}{{\omega }^{2}}}}=\frac{1}{\omega }\sqrt{\frac{g}{{{R}_{e}}}}\] \[=\frac{1}{\frac{2\pi }{24\times 60\times 60}}\sqrt{\frac{10}{6400\times {{10}^{3}}}}\] \[=\frac{24\times 60\times 60}{2\pi }.\frac{1}{800}\] \[=17\]
