If radius of the earth contracts to half of its present value without change in its mass, what will be the new duration of the day?A. `12hr`B. `6hr`C. `42 mi n`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`I=2/5MR^(2)`
`L=Iomega`=constant
`T=(2pi)/(omega)implies T prop1/(omega) prop I prop R^(2)`
`T prop R^(2)`
So if radius becomes half, `T` becomes `1/4` times i.e. `6` hrs.
