Question

Amit buys few grams of gold at the poles as per the instruction of one of his friends. He hands over the same when he meets him at the equator will the friend agree with the weight of Gold bought? If not, why? (Hint: The value of g is greater at the poles than at the equator)

Answer 1

Weight of an object, W = mg.

where g = acceleration due to gravity.

The value of g is greater at the poles than at the equator. So the weight of the gold at the equator will be less than the weight of the gold at poles. So Amit’s friend will find the weight of the gold less than the weight told by Amit.
