    Centripetal forces effect on weight

    Well, the acceleration trying to remove you from this planet is indeed "negligible" but remember, I am setting it so you can change the rotational speed so say, take this planet radius and mass. Now spin it ten times as fast. Guess what, that negligible force... not so negligible anymore. I...

    Centripetal forces effect on weight

    So I am building this program for fun. I thought I would combine some different elements of basic physics into it. I am letting people place in numbers to create a custom planet (radius, gravitational acceleration, rotation speed (tangential velocity?). Anyway, I ran into an issue. I want...
