Question

What will be the difference in weight of the same object when weighed at Kualalampur and London and why? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

the Earth is not sphere rather than its Geoid. hence radious of the earth varies.

London is nearer to the pole and Kualalampur is located near equator.

Answer 2

There is a difference in weight of the same object when weighed at Kuala Lumpur and London

Explanation:

• London is nearer to the pole and Kuala Lumpur is located near equator. Hence, weight at the pole of the Earth is greater then the weight at equator of the Earth

• Technically defining,

       Acceleration due to gravity g is the largest at the pole of the earth.

     ⟹ Weight of the object W=mg

      ⟹ W∝g

      ⟹Therefore the object will weigh the heaviest at the pole of the earth

• As the pole distance is less than the equator 's distance from the center of the earth, the force of attraction on the body at poles is higher than at the equator. The body/object's weight at a pole is therefore greater than at Equator
