What should be the angular velocity of the Earth due to rotation about its own axis so that the weight at the equator becomes $\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)$ of its initial value? (Radius of Earth at the equator $R = 6400 \ km$,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$,$\cos 0^{\circ} = 1$)

  • A
    $3.5 \times 10^{-4} \ rad/s$
  • B
    $7.91 \times 10^{-4} \ rad/s$
  • C
    $6.5 \times 10^{-4} \ rad/s$
  • D
    $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \ rad/s$
