→‎Formulation: equatorial and polar radius formulation is dubious
Line 141:
*<math>G</math> is the universal [[gravitational constant]],
*<math>a</math> is the mean radius,
*<math>a_e = a\, (1 + \tfrac{f}{3})</math> and <math>a_p = a\,(1 - \tfrac{2f}{3})</math> are respectively the equatorial and polar radius,{{Dubious}}
*<math>T</math> is the rotation period and <math>\omega = \tfrac{2 \pi}{T}</math> is the [[angular velocity]],
*<math>\rho</math> is the body density and <math>M \simeq \tfrac{4}{3} \pi \rho a^3</math> is the total body mass.
