At which of the following place, weight of an object is maximum? |
At equator At poles At tropic of Cancer At tropic of Capricorn |
At poles |
The correct answer is option 2. At poles. The weight of an object is maximum at At poles. At the poles (North Pole or South Pole), the gravitational force experienced by an object is slightly stronger compared to other locations on Earth. This is because the Earth's shape is slightly oblate, with the poles being closer to the center of the Earth than the equator. As a result, objects at the poles experience a slightly higher gravitational force, leading to a slightly greater weight compared to objects at other latitudes. |
