If the earth stops rotating about its axis, then the magnitude of gravity

Statement I: If the earth suddenly stops rotating about its axis, then the acceleration due to gravity will become the same at all the places. Statement II: The value of acceleration due to gravity is independent of rotation of the earth.

Acceleration due to gravity of earth

By considering earth to be non spherical. STATEMENT -1 : As one moves from equator to the pole of earth, the value of acceleration due to gravity increases. and STATEMENT -2 : If earth stops rotating about its own axis, the value of acceleration due to gravity will be same at pole and at equator.

The earth rotates about its own axis, then the value of acceleration due to gravity is

Let omega be the angular velocity of the earth's rotation about its axis. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface has the same value at the equator and the poles. An object weighed at the equator gives the same reading as a reading taken at a depth d below earth's surface at a pole (dlt ltR) . the value of d is-
