Question

A person will ge more quantity of matter in kg-wt at

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know, at north pole value of R=6,356,800m and at equator value of R=6,378,100m.

So, we can deduce, g(at north pole) =GM/R ^2

=9.86m/s ^2

and g (at equator) =GM/R ^2

=9.80 m/s ^2

So, clearly g at north pole is greater than that of at equator. Hence, same quantity of matter will weigh more in north pole and comparatively less at equator.

Thus we can conclude that a person will get more quantity of matter in Kg−Wt at equator (since weight is less). Same logic is applicable for south pole and 60° latitude. In satellite, there is no apparent weight of anything.
