CENTRIFUGAL oblate spheroid gravityincreasing g* R3 centrifugal increasing Fgravitation/m = -GMr r2 gravitation g R2 Fcentrifugal/m = W2rR R THIS IS ONE OF THE APPARENT ACCELERATIONS! r R1 g =Fgravitation/m + Fcentrifugal/m The reduction in gravitation (apparent gravity) leads to an equatorwardcomponent of gravity and hence a shearing stress which deforms the earth. Hence, the equator is uphill! Why doesn’t the object roll toward the pole?
