1.	What will be the effect on the weight of a body placed on the surface on the Earth, if Earth suddenly stops rotating?
Answer» no effect weight will INCREASE weight will decrease weight will become zero Solution :The value of G at latitude `lambda` is, `g'=g-Rw^(2)COS^(2)lambda`. If Earth stops ROTATING, w = 0, g' = g. It means the weight of the body will increase.
