Let's suppose to have a huge planet with an ellipsoidal shape with 2 horizontal axis equal (a=b) and mach greater than the vertical axis. The mass is uniform.

enter image description here

Question: If I was in on the surface of the planet, where would I weight more? on the pole or on the equator?

Is it still possible to use the formula: $G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$ ?

Disregard the rotation of the planet.
