Correct Answer:
Solution : The correct answer is decreases.
According to centrifugal acceleration formulae, as angular speed increases, the net acceleration due to gravity decreases. As a result, the weight will reduce.
Alternatively, as the rotational speed of earth increases, the gravity at equator decreases and as a result the weight will also reduce.
