    If the earth stops moving around its polar axis then what will be effect on body placed at south axis?

    A)  Remain same

    B)  Increase

    C)  Decrease but not zero

    D)  Decrease zero

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Variation in g due to rotation of earth \[g'=g-{{\omega }^{2}}R{{\cos }^{2}}\lambda \] At poles\[\lambda =90{}^\circ \]in the above expression, we get   \[{{g}_{pole}}=g-{{\omega }^{2}}R{{\cos }^{2}}90{}^\circ \] \[\therefore \] \[{{g}_{pole}}=g\] ie, there is no effect of rotational motion of the earth on the value ofg at poles.
