Question

Q1.Points A and C represents different positions on the

surface of the earth. Point B represents the centre of the earth.

Q) At which point on the surface of earth does a body experience maximum weight?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given:

Points A and C represents different positions on the surface of the earth. Point B represents the centre of the earth.

To find:

At which point does a body experience max weight?

Calculation:

So, we need to identify that point where the gravitational acceleration is maximum.

• "A" is in the poles.
• "B" is centre of earth.
• "C" is in equator.

Now, we know that in the equator, gravitational acceleration (g) is lesser than that of poles because of :

Rotation of earth

Distance of equator > Distance of poles from centre.

Also, gravitational acceleration (g) is zero at centre of earth (at point B).

Hence, max weight will be experienced at point A (or at poles) , because of max 'g' value.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B because at the centre of the earth force will be maximum
