is it true that weight in south pole different than in equator?

Question

for example if I weight 200 pound in south pole how much will I weight in equator...? how that happend?

Answer 1

Yes you would weigh slightly less on the equator due to centrifigal force caused by the the earth's rotation.
The difference would probably be less than a pound.
I also believe that you would weigh slightly less at the top of the heighest mountains . Reasoning: If I remember some basic physics, gravitation is proportional to the square of the distance from a mass; in this case , the center of the earth.

Answer 2

Yes, it is true. Weight is a force and force equals mass times acceleration. Since the Earth slightly bulges as the equator and is slightly flattened at the poles, the force is not exactly the same because the gravity is not exactly the same and therefore your weight is not exactly the same. You would still weigh 200 pounds though, because the amount of change is so small that it is non-detectable without very precise instruments.

Answer 3

There is a difference since the earth diameter pole to pole is shorter that a diameter in the equatorial plane. I worked on an early problem of the space age when we found that the earth has a little (very slight) shape like a pear. Being closer to center at a pole would make you weigh very slightly more. F=GMm/r^2.

Answer 4

particular, there's a distinction. The acceleration using gravity (g) is incredibly extra advantageous on the poles. it fairly is ~9.832 ms^-2 on the North Pole and ~ 9.782 close to the equator. the main reason is that the Earth isn't a suited sphere yet flattened incredibly on the poles. consequently the radius of the Earth is way less on the poles and the exterior is closer to the centre of the earth. The result is major because of the fact the stress of gravitation is inversely proportional to the radius squared. There are different reasons: The Earth's crust would not have a uniform density. additionally the earth is spinning with extra advantageous linear speed on the equator.

Answer 5

No 200

Answer 6

No. Your weight is based on the gravitational pull of the earth. You are being pulled to the centre of the earth with the same amount of force and will thus weigh the same.

Answer 7

No, that is not true. The center of gravity on earth is the center of the planet and it is the same distance all the way around (Or close enough that it doesn't matter). The gravitational pull is the same.
