when a body is dropped in north pole..in which direction does it deviate?

Question

for a body palced on earth; there is a component of force which is balanced by the normal force..but the other component is unbalanced nd dircted along a tangent(pointin towards north pole) at that point..so due to this unbalanced force..shudnt a body deviate when dropped frm a certain height in the north pole..

Answer 1

Only one way it can...South.

Answer 2

You misunderstand the meaning of magnetic deviation, which is the measure by which a compass needle deviates slightly toward the magnetic pole versus the actual north pole.

A body at the north pole (absent wind) will fall in the same direction as any other part of the world---straight down, toward the center of the earth. North pole, at the equator, or any other location on the globe.

Answer 3

You are assuming that the earths magnetic flux (at the magnetic nrth pole) affects the drop. I don't know why it would. A drop at the geographic north pole would be irrelevant. The atmosphere turns at the same rate as the earth and the at the rotation point, not at all.

The deviates would be random on multiple drops of a body.

Answer 4

Earth's gravity always tries to pull objects downward directly towards Earth's center of mass. It makes no difference where an object is dropped.

Answer 5

I reckon if your at the north pole, then all directions you initially travel would be south.

Answer 6

it depends on which way the wind is blowing.
