Earth is assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$. If $g_{\phi}$ is the value of effective acceleration due to gravity at latitude $30^{\circ}$ and $g$ is the value at the equator,then the value of $|g - g_{\phi}|$ is ($\omega$ is the angular velocity of rotation of the Earth,$\cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$).
