If the distance around the equator is reduced by half, then the radius is also reduced by half.
Since the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to 1/(radius²),
the acceleration changes by a factor of 1/(1/2)² = 1/(1/4) = <em>4 </em>.
The acceleration due to gravity ... and also the weight of everything on Earth ...
becomes <em>4 times what it is now</em>.
