If earth stops rotating, what is effect in the value of 'g' at equator ?

Assertion : If the earth stops rotating about its axis, the value of the weight of the body at equator will decrease. Reason : The centripetal force does not act on the body at the equator.

The value of 'g' on earth surface depends :-

Prove that the ratio of the rate of change of g at a height equal to the earth's radius from the surface of the earth of the value of g at the surface of the earth is equal to (-1)/(4R_e)

Determine the speed with which the earth would have to rotate on its axis , so that a person on the equator would weigh (3)/(5) th as much as the person. Take R = 6400 km .

Value of 'g' is less at poles than equator.

If the angular speed of earth increases two times then the acceleration of gravity (g) at north pole becomes .......

The mass of a spaceship is 1000kg. It is to be launched from the earth's surface out into free space. The value of g and R (radius of earth) are 10m/s^2 and 6400 km respectively. The required energy for this work will be:
