The weight of an object is minimum when it is placed at the center of the earth because when an object is in the center, experiences gravitational pull from all directions & the weight of an object maximum on earth is on the poles. That is why at poles body will weigh Max.

We know that the weight of the body is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity and the acceleration due to gravity increases with the latitude

Now the latitude is minimum at the equator and maximum at the poles

So, acceleration due to gravity and hence weight is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator.

hope it helps you

Answer:

Maximum -- As the poles of the earth are much closer to the centre of the Earth than the equator the 'acceleration due to gravity' is maximum at the poles of the earth and the weight of the body is maximum at the poles of the earth.

Minimum -- The weight of an object is minimum when it is placed at the center of the earth because when an object is in the center, experiences gravitational pull from all directions

Explanation:

Hope it helps....
