If the radius of earth is reduced to three-fourth of its present value without change in its mass then value of duration of the day of earth will be ________ hours 30 minutes.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 13

  1. L=IωL=I\omega conserved, I=25MR2I=\frac25MR^2, so T∝I∝R2T\propto I\propto R^2.
  2. T′=24×(34)2=24×916=13.5T'=24\times\left(\frac34\right)^2=24\times\frac{9}{16}=13.5 h
  3. T′=13T'=13 h 30 min, so the answer is 13.
