find the radius of motion at latitude 52deg. At zero latitude, rad=re, at latitude theta, rad=re*cosineTheta.
So you know ang velocity, radius
Centripetal acceleration=w^2*r
remember the radius of motion is the distance from the Point on the surface to the AXIS of rotaion, not the distance to the center of the Earth.
