A string of length `l` is fixed at one end and carries a mass 'm' at the other end. The mass is revolving along a horizontal circle of radius 'r' making 'θ' as the semi-vertical angle of cone and `(1/pi)` revolutions per second around the vertical axis through fixed end.

Earth can be thought of as a sphere of radius 6400 km. Any object (or a person) is performing circular motion around the axis of earth due to earth’s rotation (period 1 day). What is acceleration of object on the surface of the earth (at equator) towards its centre? what is it at latitude θ? How does these accelerations compare with g = 9.8 m/s2?
