What shall be the effect on the length of the day if the polar ice caps of earth melt?

Answer»

Melting of polar ice caps will increase the radius of gyration and hence, M.I. also increase. In order by conserve angular momentum, the angular velocity ω shall decrease.

So, the length of the day (T = \(\frac{2π}{τ}\)) shall increase.
