Subject: [Phys-l] A question about the Earth's gravity
We claim that the earth's gravity at its poles is slightly greater than
that at its equator. However, I feel justification for it is not
trivial but somewhat above the level of even AP Physics C; it will
require quite a bit of calculus! Would you agree?
