Question

An object is weighed in the following places using a spring balance. In which place will it weigh the heaviest?

• A. On the Moon
• B. At the equator
• C. At the pole
• D. In outer space

Answer 1

The correct option is C At the pole

Acceleration due to gravity $g$ is the largest at the pole of the earth.

Weight of the object $W=mg$

$⟹$ $W\propto g$

Thus the object will weigh the heaviest at the pole of the earth
