The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface at the poles is $g$ and angular velocity of the earth about the axis passing through the pole is $\omega .$ An object is weighed 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)
