Gravity and Centrifug. Force


What would the force of gravity really be, without the Earth's rotation providing centrifugal force?

(In terms of current g-force)

come on, you can work this out for yourself …
ω = 2π/60*60*24,

and the centrifugal force is mω2r towards the earth's axis (ie not vertical)
