Explain how is the acceleration due to gravity affected at a latitude due to the rotational motion of the earth.

Acceleration due to gravity of earth

The acceleration due to gravity is _____ at the surface of the earth and ____ at the centre of the earth.

Acceleration due to gravity at the centre of the earth is :-

The angular speed of rotation of the earth is omega=7.27xx10^(-5)rads^(-1) and its radius is R=6.37xx10^(6)m. Calculate the acceleration of a man standing at a place at 40^(@) latitude. [cos40^(@)=10.77] If the earth suddenly stops rotating, the acceleration due to gravity on its surface will become g_(0)=9.82ms^(-2). Find the effective value of acceleration due to gravity (g) at 40^(@) latitude taking into account the rotation of the earth.
