Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the weight of a 70 kg person at the equator and at the North Pole, considering g is approximately 9.78 m/sΒ² at the pole and 9.78 - 0.0049 (decreasing due to altitude) at the equator.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the provided values of gravity to calculate weight using W = mg.

Question 2

Discuss how the weight of an object changes as it moves from the equator to different latitudes and explain why.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the concept of Earth's shape and how it influences gravitational pull.
