Read the following statements :
`S_(1)` : An object shall weigh more at pole than at equator when weighed by using a physical balance.
`S_(2)` : It shall weigh the same at pole and equator when weighed by using a physical balance.
`S_(3)` : It shall weigh the same at pole and equator when weighed by using a spring balance.
`S_(4)` : It shall weigh more at the pole than at equator when weighed using a spring balance.
Which of the above statements is/are correct ?

A

`S_1` and `S_2`

B

`S_1` and `S_4`

C

`S_2` and `S_3`

D

`S_2` and `S_4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Using a physical balance : same weight
Using spring balance : differ weight because value of g vary.
