Q. If the earth were to spin faster, acceleration due to gravity at the poles

J & K CETJ & K CET 2006

Solution:

The variation of g with angular velocity $ (\omega ) $ is given by
$ g'=g-R{{\omega }^{2}} $
If earth were to spin faster, that is angular velocity increases, then except at poles, the weight of bodies will decrease at all places.
