Question

is the weight of the body is less at the post than at the equator?

Answer 1

Yes bcoz gravitional force become less

Answer 2

No, the weight of a body is zero at the equator.So, the weight of body is more at poles than at equator.

Weight of the body is the force with which it is attracted towards the center of the earth. As the distance of the pole is less than the distance of the equator from the center of the earth, the force of attraction is higher on the body at poles than at the equator. Hence the weight of a body is greater at pole than at the equator.
