AI Generated Solution

To derive the expression for the effective gravitational acceleration due to the rotation of the Earth at a latitude \( \lambda \), we need to consider the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand Gravitational Acceleration The gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Earth is denoted by \( g \). This is the acceleration experienced by an object due to the Earth's gravity. ### Step 2: Consider the Effect of Earth's Rotation The Earth rotates about its axis, which causes a centrifugal force that acts outward from the axis of rotation. This force reduces the effective gravitational acceleration experienced by an object on the surface. ...
