Question

we are experiencing both gravitational acceleration towards the center of the Earth and centripetal acceleration away from the center of the Earth.

a) What is the acceleration that you would feel from the centripetal motion due to the rotation of the Earth if you were at the equator?

b) What is the centripetal acceleration that you would feel if you were 45 degrees North of the equator? (Hint: for this problem, a diagram may be helpful, and some trig will be required.)

c) What is the centripetal acceleration that you would feel if you were at the south pole?
