Question
what is the effect of rotation of earth on a boy on a x height from earths surface
Open in App
Solution
The body will experience a centrifugual force equl to
m
ω
2
r
.
Where m is the mass of the body.
r
is the radius
=
R
+
x
,
where
R
is the radius
of the earth. And
ω
is the angular velocity. So the acceleration due to
gravity will be
g
