Given below are two statements:

Statement $I:$ Rotation of the earth shows effect on the value of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$.

Statement $II:$ The effect of rotation of the earth on the value of $g$ at the equator is minimum and that at the pole is maximum.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

A planet of radius $R =\frac{1}{10} \times$ (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth $\frac{R}{5}$ on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density $10^{-3} \ kgm ^{-1}$ into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere, the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth $=6 \times 10^6 \ m$ and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is $10 \ ms ^{-2}$ )
