Detailed Solution

The value of acceleration due to gravity is maximum at poles and minimum at the equator because the centrifugal force for the earth’s spinning is vanishes at poles and maximum at the equator.
If the earth suddenly stops rotating about its axis, there is no effect of centrifugal force on the gravitational acceleration. SO, the value of gravitational will be same at all places
