Answer to Problem 69GP
The magnitude of the effect is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Earth rotates once per day.
Formula Used:
The expression to calculate the reduction in the gravitational acceleration on equator due to rotation of earth is,
Here,
T is the time period of the earth and its value is
The expression to calculate the fraction of reduced acceleration compared to gravitational acceleration is,
Calculation:
Substitute all the values in the above expression.
Substitute all the values in the above expression.
Conclusion:
Thus, the magnitude of the effect is
