What should be the angular velocity of earth due to rotation about its own axis so that the weight at the equator becomes $(3/5)^{th}$ of its initial value? ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity, $R$ = radius of earth)

If both the mass and the radius of the earth decrease by $1\%$,the value of the acceleration due to gravity will

The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface at the poles is $g$ and the angular velocity of the earth about the axis passing through the poles 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 the same,then $h$ is: ($h << R$,where $R$ is the radius of the earth)

If the value of $g$ (acceleration due to gravity) at the Earth's surface is $10 \ m/s^2$,what is its value in $m/s^2$ at the center of the Earth,assuming the Earth is a sphere of radius $R$ meters with uniform mass density?
