If the angular speed of the Earth is `7.26xx10^(-5)` rad/s and radius of the Earth is 6,400 km, calculate the change in weight of 1 kg of mass taken from equator to pole.

Answer» Given, angular speed of Earth `(omega)=7.26xx10^(-5)` rad/s
radius of earth (R) `=6400km=6.4xx10^(6)m`
mass of body (m)=1 kg
At poles, `phi=90^(@)`
`:.cos90^(@)=0`
Now,
Change in weight `(DeltaW)=mDeltag`
`=m(Romega^(2))`
`=1xx6.4xx10^(6)xx(7.26xx10^(-5))^(2)`
`=3.373xx10^(-2)N
