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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether 1 kg of sugar will weigh more at the poles or at the equator, we need to consider the concept of weight and how it is affected by gravitational acceleration (g) at different locations on Earth. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Weight and Mass**: - Weight (W) is defined as the force exerted by gravity on an object and is given by the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g ...
