If the angular speed of the earth is doubled,the value of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ at the north pole:

Consider Earth to be a sphere of radius $R_e$ rotating about its own axis with angular speed $\omega$. If $g_{E}$ and $g_{P}$ are the accelerations due to gravity at the equator and the poles respectively,then $(g_{P}-g_{E})$ is given by $\left[\cos (0^{\circ})=\sin (\frac{\pi}{2})=1, \sin (0^{\circ})=\cos (\frac{\pi}{2})=0\right]$
