Problem

In an installation located at the Earth’s pole, small but heavy loads are held by a thread at a distance R from the vertical axis. The thread is burned out. The weights are lowered and placed at a distance of r = 0.1R from the axis. How many revolutions per hour does the installation perform after that, if at first it did not rotate relative to the Ground? Ignore the friction. 82
