Question

Why is the weight of a body more at the pole than at the equator of the earth ??​

Answer 1

• At pole the gravitation is more than that of equator .

And according to newtons second law

Force=Mass×Acceleration

And

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F\propto a$

• Hence force varies directly with acceleration hence weight will be more .

Answer 2

Explanation:

The weight of an object at the Earth's South Pole is slightly more than its weight at the Equator because the polar radius of the Earth is slightly less than the equatorial radius. Though the mass of an object remains constant, its weight varies according to its location.
