Message Subject What Happen If The Earth Start To Spin 3 Times Faster Than The Current Spin Speed On Its Axis?

Thus the weight reduction, at equator, caused by an angular speed of Earth's rotation three times faster than the current would be, approximately, of a 3.11% . Of course, as you said, at the poles there would be no effect.

In any case, negligible.

I wouldn't call 3% negligible.

I haven't done stuff like that for decades, but I remembered the ~1/3% number.
I counselled several websites to check it.

Why does tripling the rotational speed increase centrifugal force 9 times?
