Why would the weight of an object be maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator?
Answers
Answer:
The product of mass and acceleration due to gravity is the body's weight, and the acceleration due to gravity increases with latitude. The equator has the shortest latitude and the poles have the longest. As a result, gravity-induced acceleration and weight are greatest near the poles and lowest at the equator.
Answer:
The correct answer to this question is that the equator has very less latitude and the pole has very much latitude.
Explanation:
There's a difference between mass and weight. Mass is the measure of inertia, and weight of the body is the product of mass and acceleration, which is exerted due to gravity. And the acceleration due to gravity increases when there is increase in latitude. Also we know that the latitude is minimum at equator and it is maximum at the poles. So acceleration due to gravity will be greater in wait at the poles and will be minimum at equator.
That is the reason that equator has minimum weight and the Poles had maximum weight.
