On increasing the angular velocity of the Earth, the value of g in India
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The value of 'g' (acceleration due to gravity) is affected by the centrifugal force due
to the Earth's rotation. When the angular velocity of the Earth increases, the centrifugal force acting outward increases, which effectively reduces the value of ' g '. Therefore, in India, as the angular velocity increases, 'g' will decrease.
