Why is there a change in the weight of a body if the earth changes its speed ?..

Answer / sanju

A decrease in the speed of the earth will produce a smaller
outward centrifugal force on the body and its weight will
therefore, increase. On the other hand, an increase in its
speed will produce a grater centrifugal force on the body,
resulting in a decrease in the weight of the body

Why is there a change in the weight of a body if the earth changes its speed ?..

Answer / bob

This question is not precise enough. If the earth rotates
faster, your weight will be less at the equator, but if you
are talking about the earth speeding through space, your
weight will not change.
