A body is taken from equator to pole. What happens to (1) its mass ( 2) its weight.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we will analyze the effects on mass and weight when a body is moved from the equator to the pole. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mass**: - Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is a scalar quantity and does not change regardless of location. - Therefore, when a body is taken from the equator to the pole, its mass remains **unchanged**. ...
