JEE Main Physics question
**Assertion:** If earth suddenly stops rotating about its axis then the value of acceleration due to gravity will become the same at all places.
**Reason:** The value of acceleration due to gravity is independent of rotation of earth.
Answer: (C)
Solution
The effective acceleration due to gravity at latitude is , which varies with latitude only because of the earth's rotation (). If the earth stopped rotating (), would equal everywhere
