Vedclass · Answer

(C) The effective acceleration due to gravity at the equator is given by $g' = g - \omega^2 R$,where $\omega$ is the angular velocity and $R$ is the radius of the Earth.Given that the weight at the equator becomes $3/5$ of its initial weight,we have $g' = \frac{3}{5}g$.Substituting this into the equation: $\frac{3}{5}g = g - \omega^2 R$.Rearranging the terms: $\omega^2 R = g - \frac{3}{5}g = \frac{2}{5}g$.Solving for $\omega$: $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2g}{5R}}$.Substituting the values $g = 10 \, m/s^2$ and $R = 6400 	imes 10^3 \, m$:$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2 	imes 10}{5 	imes 6400 	imes 10^3}} = \sqrt{\frac{20}{32000 	imes 10^3}} = \sqrt{\frac{20}{3.2 	imes 10^7}} = \sqrt{6.25 	imes 10^{-7}} \approx 7.8 	imes 10^{-4} \, rad/s$.

What should be the angular velocity of the Earth due to rotation about its own axis so that the weight of an object at the equator becomes $3/5$ of its initial value? (Radius of Earth at the equator is $R = 6400 \, km$,take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

The distance through which one has to dig the earth from its surface so as to reach the point where the acceleration due to gravity is reduced by $40 \%$ of that at the surface of the earth,is (radius of earth is $6400 \ km$) (in $km$)

The approximate height from the surface of earth at which the weight of the body becomes $\frac{1}{3}$ of its weight on the surface of earth is $.......... \, km$ : [Radius of earth $R = 6400 \, km$ and $\sqrt{3} = 1.732$]

The height of any point $P$ above the surface of the Earth is equal to the diameter of the Earth. The value of acceleration due to gravity at point $P$ will be: (Given $g = $ acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth)

Consider a planet in some solar system which has a mass double the mass of Earth and density equal to the average density of Earth. If the weight of an object on Earth is $W$,then the weight of the same object on that planet will be
