If it is sitting on the ground, the force up from the ground balances the centripetal acceleration and the gravitational force and the acceleration is zero.
If the question is what is the centrietal acceleration alone then use
Ac = v^2/r = w^2 r
w = 2 pi radians/24 hours = 2 pi /(24*3600)
r = earth radius
