The rotation of the earth having radius $R$ about its axis speeds up to a value such that a man at latitude angle $60^{\circ}$ feels weightless. The duration of the day in such case will be:

  • A
    $8 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}$
  • B
    $8 \pi \sqrt{\frac{g}{R}}$
  • C
    $\pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}$
  • D
    $4 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}$
