Problem

Consider a spherical planet of radius R=6400 kmR = 6400\,\text{km}. Objects at the equator are moving in a circle due to the planet's rotation. Calculate the angular velocity ω\omega of the planet such that an object at the equator would feel weightless (Normal force =0= 0). (Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2})
