Hi all, this will be my first physics qns:D more to come...
I just learned that value of g at the equator is not exactly equal to the gravitational field strength. Can anyone explain with workings? i don't really understand my teacher workings.
Also can i clarify if
-We're assuming Earth is perfectly sphere hence Radius (r) is same throughout and Angular speed is the same throughout the earth?
*i suspect there is a printing error on my notes which makes cause my confusion over the understanding of this part hence getting some other people's workings ...
