Homework Statement
Using a coordinate system in whic x and y are due east and nort of the city and z is the radial distance outwards from te centre of te earth, find the compnents of w the Earth's angular velocity vector. You may assume that the latitude of the city is lamdba = 34degrees.
Homework Equations
I know that apparent gravitational acceleration g*=g-w x (w x r) and that gh* = w^2 rsin(lambda)cos(lambda) and gv* = g-w^2 r sin(lambda)^2. But I am not sure how to fit this all together to find w
