Question: Q 3 ( 2 0 pt ) : centrifugal force mass and radius of earth are M E = 5 . 9 7 1 0

Q3(20pt): centrifugal force
mass and radius of earth are ME=5.971024Kg and RE=6.370106m, angular speed of earth spin motion =7.272210-5Rads. latitude of New York is =40.71deg, colatitude =90-.
Apparent weight vec(F)eff of mass m at colatitude is
vec(F)eff=-widehat(r)mg0+widehat()m2REsin
,g0=GMERE2 is gravitation acceleration at surface of earth, widehat(r) is unit vector from a point on earth surface toward center of earth. make a plane perpendicular to the axis from south pole to north pole at colatitude ,widehat() is the outward unit vector from cross point.
(a 10pt) For a mass m=50Kg at New York, find apparent weight Feff to 1 st order of 2REg0,
(b 10pt) find angle between vec(F)eff and -widehat(r)[direction of true gravitation force] to 1 st order of 2REg0.
