An early main objection to the idea that Earth is spinning on its axis was that Earth would turn so fast at the equator that people would be thrown off into space. Show the error in this logic with calculating

1. The weight of the person

2. The centripetal force on the person.

3. The speed of a 97 kg person at the equator. The radius of Earth is about 6400 km (needs to be in m)
