Because the rotation of the Earth about it's own axis, a point on the equator experiences a centripetal acceleration of 0.034m/s(square). While a point at any of the poles experiences no such acceleration.
1) Show that the true weight of an object (the gravitational force of the object) at the equator is greator than it's apparent weight.
2) If the true weight of a person is 735 N, what is his apparent weight at the equator?
Thank you! :!)
