The value of g is greater at the poles than at the equator why

The reason is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere. The distance from the poles to the centre of the Earth is smaller and the gravity is slightly greater.
The distance from the equator to the centre is slightly bigger so gravity is slightly smaller.

Answer:

because the gravitational pull is maximum at the poles and decreases as it comes down toward the equator.

Answer: $68.75\ kg, 0.06$

Explanation:

Mary applies a force of 73 N to create an acceleration of $0.48\ m/s^2$

When She increases force to 84 N, it creates an acceleration of $0.64\ m/s^2$

Friction opposes the motion of box

$\Rightarrow 73-f=m\times 0.48\quad \ldots(i)\\\Rightarrow 84-f=m\times 0.64\quad \ldots(ii)$

Subtract (i) from (ii)

$\Rightarrow 11=m(0.64-0.48)\\\Rightarrow m=68.75\ kg$

Therefore friction is

$\Rightarrow f=73-68.75\times 0.48\\\Rightarrow f=73-33\\\Rightarrow f=40\ N$

Here, friction is kinetic friction which is given by

$\Rightarrow f=\mu_kmg\\\Rightarrow 40=\mu_k 68.75\times 9.8\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=0.061$
