    If the earth were to spin faster, acceleration due to gravity at the poles

    A)  increases

    B)  decreases

    C)  remains the same

    D)  depends on how fast it spins

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The variation of g with angular velocity \[(\omega )\] is given by \[g'=g-R{{\omega }^{2}}\] If earth were to spin faster, that is angular velocity increases, then except at poles, the weight of bodies will decrease at all places.
