mathman.............can you even remotely see where MOMENT of INERTIA applies to the planet example listed earlier?????

With a lack of masses attracting (gravity).........and the established 1000+mph at the equator.......wouldn't you spin/launch right off the planet?

Please tell us all, mathman. How much does this spin (at equator) negate the attractive force of gravity.......as compared to the north pole?

Feel free to show your work.

We'll build on this......
