उत्तर
Diameter of the Earth = 12800 km
So, radius of the Earth, R = 6400 km = 6.4 × 106 m
Time period of revolution of the Earth about its axis :
\[T = 24 \text{hr} = 24 \times 3600 \text{s}\]
\[\text{v} = \frac{2\pi r}{T}=\frac{2 \times 3 . 14 \times 64 \times {10}^6}{24 \times 3600}\]
\[\Rightarrow \text{v} = 465 . 185 \text{ m/s}\]
\[\text { Acceleration of the particle }: \]
\[a = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{\left( 465 . 185 \right)^2}{64 \times {10}^5} = 0 . 038 \text{ m/ s}^2\]

You may have seen in a circus a motorcyclist driving in vertical loops inside a ‘death-well’ (a hollow spherical chamber with holes, so the spectators can watch from outside). Explain clearly why the motorcyclist does not drop down when he is at the uppermost point, with no support from below. What is the minimum speed required at the uppermost position to perform a vertical loop if the radius of the chamber is 25 m?
