    Show that a rotating (fluid) planet is an oblate spheroid

    The idea is that, if we take the rotating frame of the fluid-planet so that it is at rest, then the sum of gravity and the centrifugal force must be perpendicular to the surface. Take the planet to be rotating about the y-axis at a rate ω. By symmetry we only need to work in 2 dimensions. So...
