A body weights 98 N on a spring balance ...

A body weights 98 N on a spring balance at the north pole. What will be its weight recorded on the same scale if it is shifted to te equator? Use g=`GM/R^2=9.8m/s^2` and the radius of the earth R=6400 km.

To solve the problem, we need to determine the weight of the body at the equator given its weight at the North Pole and the effects of centrifugal force due to the Earth's rotation. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Determine the Mass of the Body:** The weight of the body at the North Pole is given as 98 N. The weight (W) is related to mass (m) and acceleration due to gravity (g) by the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g ...
