To solve the problem of how much a body weighing 1.000 kg at the North Pole will weigh at the equator, we need to account for the effects of Earth's rotation on gravitational force. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Weight at the North Pole At the North Pole, the weight of the body is measured as 1.000 kg. The weight (W) of an object is given by the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g \] where \( m \) is the mass of the object and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step 2: Determine the Acceleration due to Gravity at the Equator ...
