I'm not sure if this is correct but maybe it's because the mass is on the equator i.e placed on the surface of the earth so centripetal force will be very smallView attachment 59474

Can anyone please help and tell me why there is deviation in the value of centripetal force and gravitational force cause wasn't it that the gravitational force only provides the centripetal force?
I remember someone had posted this, I can't remember tho? Pleaseee help.

cause cf = gf for a satellite above the earth's surface so in this case the mass is not above but on the surface if that seems logical?
