Weight of the body is the force with which it is attracted towards the center of the earth. As the distance of the pole is less than the distance of the equator from the center of the earth, the force of attraction is higher on the body at poles than at the equator. Hence the weight of a body is greater...

The earth is not completely spherical, the maximum gravity of the earth acts on center of the earth. From center to pole's distance is less than equator,hence the weight of body on the earth's pole is greater than the earth's equator.

Because of centripetal acceleration you will weigh a tiny amount less at the equator than at the poles.

There is an additional effect due to the oblateness of the earth.The earth is not exactly spherical but rather is a little bit like a "squashed" sphere,with the radius at the equator slightly larger than the radius at the poles.This has the effect of slightly increasing your weight at the poles and slightly...

According to the equation g = GM/r^2 Where g = acceleration due to gravity G = universal gravitation constant M mass of the body r= distance from centre of earth The r in case of poles is less than equator. Due to this the g is more We know that Weight of a body is given by W = MXg As...

Due to this the g is more We know that Weight of a body is given by W = MXg As g is more at poles , therefore Weight is also more as mass of body remains constant every where. Hence weight of a body is more at pole than at the equator. read less

Since weight=Mass×Accleration due to gravty and Accleration due to gravity is higher at the poles than at the equator. Therefore the weight of a body is higher at the polesthan at the eqator.
