MCQ
Weight of a body is maximum at
- AMoon
- ✓Poles of earth
- CEquator of earth
- DCentre of earth
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Poles of earth
b
(b) 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
(b) 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
Hence correct answer is option $A$
