Answer:
88 kg
Increase
Explanation:
At equator: gravitation acceleration is 10 m/s².
∴ force(weight) = mg
880 = m(10)
880/10 = 88 = m(mass)
Mass of the man is 88 kg.
At the poles: distance from the centre of earth is lesser than that from equator. As g is inversely proportional to the distance, and distance is decreased, it must increase.
