We all know that g is more at the poles than at the equator because it is closer to the cenre. I think Earth's rotation will not have any effect on the g because g depends only on the mass product and the distance only.
But roration of the Earth should be having some effect on the weight of a body as it may have a component in the direction of g and the net acceleration will be different from g. How does this net acceleration that determines the apparent of weight of an object on the Earth change with the location (poles or equator) of the object on the Earth and the angular velocity of the rotation?
