Will `1 kg` sugar be more at poles or at the equator?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The value of `g` larger at the poles than at the equator. If the suger is weighed in a physical balance then there will be no difference. If it is weighed by a spring balance, calibrated at the equator, then `1 kg` of suger will have a lesser amount at poles.
