\boxed{ \rm \green{ Answer:-}}

At equators,the radius of the earth is the greatest at the poles whereas at the equator,it is the least.

Due to this the value of g is greatest at poles and least at the equator of the earth.

Therefore,a body weight more at the poles and less at the equator of the earth.

  • At pole the gravitation is more than that of equator .

And according to newtons second law

Force=Mass×Acceleration

And


\\ \sf\longmapsto F\propto a

  • Hence force varies directly with acceleration hence weight will be more .
