MHT CET Physics question
Let be the acceleration due to gravity at earth's surface and K.E. be the rotational kinetic energy of the earth. Suppose the earth's radius decreases by 2% keeping all other quantities same, then [BHU 1994, JIPMER 2000]
Answer: (C)
Solution
, so a 2% decrease in increases by about 4%; with angular momentum conserved, K.E.
