since gravitational force varies with latitude, and hence so does the weight,due to greater distances at the equator, than at the poles,
and hence so do the weights of objects at the surface of the earth at different latitudes due to varying distances from the earths center ,when weighing or calibrating scales or balances at different latitudes, is there a correction applied, so that there is no difference in the weights measured,on an international basis for weighing bulk commodities, assuming weights used for measuring and weighingare SI units of metre ,kilogramme and sec
