where the weight of the object is maximum? North or South pole?

Answer 1

At first though one may think that because the earth is flattened at the poles, that these would be places of maximum gravitational fields. But if you look up "earth gravitational field map" on google images you would see randomness. One would also wonder how much the moon (which is constantly moving) would influence one's weight. The reference below (from NASA) indicates that the Field has a minimum off the coast of India and a 'relative' high at the South Pacific Ocean. The variations are caused by underlying mass's of varying density. It would seem logical to me that if the earth were made of a constant-density material, the gravitational forces would balance the centripetal forces caused by the earth's spin so that you would weigh the same everywhere (neglecting the moon). If I was given this question as a test and had to pick one of them I would have to say the south pole because of the relative high in the South Pacific, but it would be an unsatisfying answer. Theoretically the center of the earth would have zero gravity (but maximum pressure).

Answer 2

The earth is slightly pear-shaped. The south is the fat side. So I'm going to say gravity is more at the south pole. This is a really low-order effect, though, and likely to be swamped by local variations in altitude and density.

Answer 3

There are charts that show the variation of the gravity. I did work for NASA and we were trying to move the satellite into synchrous orbit so we parked it at X position . That went well but by the next morning it had moved. We found out that gravity veries with of the mass below the orbit just like mountains and vallies. U canot park on the side of a mountain . U can park very easily in the valley .

Answer 4

either pole on thebearth.
