MCQ
The angular speed of earth, so that the object on equator may appear weightless, is $(g = 10\,m/{s^2}$, radius of earth $6400\, km$)
  • $1.25 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,rad/sec$
  • B
    $1.56 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,rad/sec$
  • C
    $1.25 \times {10^{ - 1}}\,rad/sec$
  • D
    $1.56\; rad/sec$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1.25 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,rad/sec$
a
(a) For condition of weightlessness of equator $\omega = \sqrt {\frac{g}{R}} = \frac{1}{{800}} = 1.25 \times {10^{ - 3}}\frac{{rad}}{s}$
