What will happen to the value of acceleration due to gravity if the Earth stops rotating about its axis?

If the earth stopped spinning suddenly, the atmosphere would still be in motion with the earth original 1100 mile per hour rotation speed at the equator. All the land masses would be scoured clean of anything not attached to bedrock.
