relation bw accleration due to gravity & angular velocity of earth is given by
geff = g - w2Rcos@
at equator , @ = 0 ,
R(radius of earth = 6400km &
w = 2pi/T (T is time of rotation of earth = 24hrs)
after putting these values
geff = 9.76m/s2
if earth stops then w becomes 0 & then
geff = g - 0 = g = 9.8m/s (increased)
change in g = 9.8-9.76 =0.04
percentage change = 0.04/9.76 *100 = 0.4%
