the centripital force is unnafected by gravity

it is true that the net force on an object situated on a rotating body (the net force acting to keep the object on the body or away from the body, (ie the weight, in simple terms) is influenced both by the force of gravity vs the rotational (angular) acceleration, but those two parameters have zero influence on each other.

in other words, a device which measures centripital force would give a reading thousands of times greater on the mgr than on the earth even if the mgr would somehow have a pull towards the center equivalent to earths gravity. that was the essence of the question as i restated it. the original question was not clear as i should have not used “dizziness” as the main differential factor between the two cases. i tried a couple of times to fix that.
