if all objects on the equator feels weightlessness then duration of the day will become___

We know that a faster rate of revolution generates a greater centrifugal force which reduces the weight of all things at or near the equator. At a particular limit of speed all objects located on the equator would be weightless.
For the given case, the acceleration due to gravity at the equator is given by,
g'=g-Reω2or ω=gRe=9.86.4×106=1.24×10-3rad/sIn this situation, the period of rotation of the earth about its axis, T or can say length of the day isT=2πω=2×3.141.24×10-3=5075 seconds or 84.6 min

the apparent g = g0-w2R = 0

g0 = 9.8m/s2

R=6.4*106

w=1.237*10-3

the length of day = time period of rotation of earth

1.41 hours or 84.6 min
