The angular velocity of earth so that a body at equator experiences weightlessness is omega not.Then omega is is
Answers
Answer:
We know that acceleration due to gravity at equator is,
ge =g−Rω^2
where, ω=0
is the angular velocity of the earth.
Angular velocity of Earth= 2π/T = 2π/86400
If the acceleration due to gravity at the equator becomes zero, the body at equator experiences weightlessness.
Let ω be the angular velocity of rotation at which the acceleration due to gravity at the equator becomes zero.
That is, ge =g−Rω^2
=0
⇒g=Rω^2
⇒ω= root g/R
Now, ω/ω0 = 1/ω0 root g/R
= 86400/2π root 9.8/6.4 × 10^6
=17
⇒ω=17ω0
Thus, the earth should rotate 17 times faster than the present rate.
Rotation speed increases by a factor of 17.
∴ the duration of day decreases by factor 17.
New duration of day, T=24/17
=1.412hr is the answer.

Your question is wrong dear. The correct question I write here please look carefully.
Question:
The angular velocity of the earth on rad/s, so that bodies on equator may appear weightless. Then find the angular velocity?
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the weight of the apparent body on equator is:
As we know that,
Cancel the mass "m" on both the sides.
We get,
As,
Now, "g" goes to left hand side
Now, "R" goes to right hand side
Now, it is given that:
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²
Radius of the earth = 6400 km = 6400000 m
So, by using the formula:
