Comment on Would a disk shaped planet have uniform gravity like earth or would it vary depending on whether you're near the center or edges?

He’s the full physics analysis. Check out Figure V.4.

TL;DR: It varies a lot. If the average gravity over the whole disk is 1.0, it’ll be 2.0 near the center and taper off to ~0.2 near the outer edge.
