In order to make the effective acceleration due to gravity equal to zero at the equator,the angular velocity of rotation of the earth about its axis should be $(g = 10\,m/s^2$ and radius of earth is $6400\,km)$.

  • A
    $0\,rad/s$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{800}\,rad/s$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{80}\,rad/s$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{8}\,rad/s$
