With what angular velocity the earth should spin in order that a body lying at 30° latitude may become weightless? (R is the radius of earth and g is the acc due to gravity on pole of the earth) a)√(2g/3R) ​b) √(4g/R) ​c) √(g/3R) ​d) √(4g/3R)

ans is (d)
there is a relation u must remember
ge=gp – Rw2cos2(phi)
phi-latitude angle
ge= g at that point
gp/g(as given in q) – acc due to gravity at poles
on solving u will get option (d) (remember ge=0...weightless...as given in the question)
PLS APPROVE
THANK YOU,
HOPE THIS HELPS!!
