A) poles
B) at latitude of \[{{60}^{o}}\]
C) equator
D) satellite
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The earth is not a solid sphere but is somewhat flattened at the poles and bulged at equator, its equitorial radius is \[21\text{ }km\]larger than its polar radius. Since,
\[g=\frac{GM}{{{R}^{2}}}\] Hence, value of g is least at equator and maximum at poles. Also, W = mg, therefore a person will get more quantity of matter in kg-wt at equator.
