The rotation of the earth having R radius about its axis speeds up to a value such that a man at latitude angle 60° feels weightlessness. The duration of the day in such a case is |
$2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}$ $4 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}$ $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{g}{R}}$ $4 \pi \sqrt{\frac{g}{R}}$ |
$4 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}$ |
$0=g-R \omega^2 \cos ^2 60^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{R^2 \omega^2}{4}=g$ $\Rightarrow \omega=2 \sqrt{\frac{g}{R}}$ $\Rightarrow T=4 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}$ |
