Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

Centrifugal Force due to Rotation of the Earth - Earth is treated as an inertial frame, it is actually not so. Earth spins about its own axis with an angular velocity ω. Any object on the surface of Earth (rotational frame) experiences a centrifugal force. The centrifugal force appears to act exactly in opposite direction from the axis of rotation. It is shown in the Figure . The centrifugal force on a man standing on the surface of the Earth is Fc = mω2r where r is perpendicular distance of the man from the axis of rotation. By using right angle triangle as shown in the Figure, the distance r = R cos θ Here R = radius of the Earth and θ = latitude of the Earth where the man is standing.

centrifugal force is due to rotation of earth, which help in arranging different layers of earth according to their density and their is lot of other things, which you can google.
