Where is the weight of an object is the most?
A.
In the polar regionB.
In the equatorial regionC.
On the top of the hillD.
In the basin of the oceanAnswer & Solution
Answer:
In the polar region
Solution:
The weight of an object is greatest in the polar region because the
Earth is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator due to its
rotation. This means the distance from the Earth's center to the poles is
shorter than at the equator. Since gravitational force is stronger when objects
are closer to the Earth's center, an object weighs more at the poles than at
the equator.
