ANSWER: About 9.832 m/s raised to a power 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In combination , the equational bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugal force due to rotation that means sea level gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s raised to a power 2 at the equator to about 9.832m/s raised to a power 2 at the poles , so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than the equator
