Question Number 16506 by Tinkutara last updated on 23/Jun/17
A train 1 moves from east to west  (clockwise) and another train 2 moves  from west to east (anticlockwise) on  the equator with equal speeds relative  to ground. The ratio of their  centripetal acceleration (a_1 /a_2 ) relative to  centre of earth is  (1) > 1  (2) < 1
