- Let ω is the angular velocity of the earth's rotation about its own axis and acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface at the poles is g . An object weighed by a spring balance gives the same reading at the equator, as well as at a height h above the poles ( h < < R ). What is the value of h ?
