Question

How is weight affected by the location?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey there!!

As we know that,

weight of a body = m.g

Where, "m" is mass of an object and "g" acceleration due to gravity.

which implies,

w is directly proportional to m and g.

As the mass remain constant it donot change but g always varies according to the places.

So, The weight of an object is affected by acceleration due to gravity as it varies from place to place.

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

This is because the centrifugal force on an object due to the rotation of the Earth is highest at the equator. This is mostly canceled out by the acceleration due to gravity, but the difference between the two is what causes a slight decrease in your weight closer to the equator.
