Question

A body is weighed using a spring balance. It will show the weight of the body at your place to be.
(a) More than at the equator.
(b) Equal to that at the poles.
(c) Less than that at the equator.
(d) More than that at the poles.

Answer 1

more than equator (a)

Answer 2

It will show the weight of the body at my place to be more than equator.

• The weight of the body is different at different places of the earth.
• The maximum weight of an object is experienced at the poles and the minimum weight of an object is experienced the equator.
• As the minimum weight is experienced at the equator only, so the any other place on this planet will surely produce more weight than the equator.
• And, my place or my country India is certainly not present in the equatorial region. That's why, here the weight of that object will be more than the weight of that object in equator.
