The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface at the poles is g an and angular velocity of the earth about the axis passing through the pole is ω. An object is weight at the equator and at a height h above the poles by using a spring balance. If the weights are found to be same, then h is : (h << R, where R is the radius of the earth)
