So the gravitational force is changed by the rotation of the Earth?
Very
interesting!!!

Its only somewhat above the level of AP-C if centrifugal effects are
deemed somewhat above the level AP-C

We claim that the earth's gravity at its poles is slightly greater
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?
