What would the forces be like at sea level if the earth did not spin.?

Question

-Acceleration Due to gravity is it sill 9.88 m/s/s
-air pressure (more because of no centripetal force?)
-How much would I wiegh? my current wieght is 80 Kg
-Any thing else u want to put in.

Answer 1

At the poles there would be no difference.
At the equator the difference would be less than 1 %.

Answer 2

At the equator, the centripetal acceleration due to the earth's rotation is around 0.003g, so small that it's hard to measure. It decreases to zero as you approach the geographic poles. But the winds would be very different. If the earth did not rotate at all, the day would be a year long. If it rotated once per year, then one side would always face the sun and be very hot; the other, very cold.

Answer 3

The centifugal force due to the spinning of the earth is very small since it spins so slowly.

However, the spin gives the earth stability as it has angular momentum and rotates about an axis. This gives rise to stability in our seasons. If the earth didn't rotate it would wobble around randomly and we would have crazy weather.

Answer 4

The effect of gravity would be MUCH higher if the Earths spin did not counteract it.
