Identical packets are dropped from two aeroplanes one above the equator and the other above north poleboth at height h assuming all conditions identical,will the packet reach the surface at the same time ? Justify your answer

hi there nitha,
No, those packets do not take same time to reach the surface of the earth. Because the value of g (i.e., acceleration due to gravity is) different at poles and equator due to rotation of the earth and is given by g’= g -a>2rsin0 and at poles 0 = 0 whereas at equator 0 = 90°.
Since, g is greatest at the poles than at the equator. So, packet dropped above the north pole will reach first at the surface of the earth.
hope it helps ✌

Answer:
no, because the value of g which is acceleration due to gravity is greater at the poles than that of equator so at poles it will take less time for the packet to fall than that on equator
