|
|
It increases.
|
|
|
It decreases
|
|
|
It stays the same.
|
|
|
It becomes zero.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus as the spinning speed of earth increases, then g at equator decreases and thus weight of body decreases at equator.
Detailed explanation-2: -The acceleration due to gravity decreases with increase in altitude from the surface of the earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Acceleration due to gravity is zero at the centre of the earth. The value of g is least at the equator and maximum at the poles. It means the value of acceleration due to gravity increases as we go from the equator to the poles.
Detailed explanation-4: -If radius reduces to half, then acceleration due to gravity will become four times.
