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

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.

Show that if the earth stops rotating about its axis, then the acceleration due to gravity at the equator will increase by 3.38 cm *s^(-2) . The radius of the earth =6.4 xx10^8 cm .

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.
