Solution

  1. '1kg' of sugar will weigh more at the poles than at the equator.
  2. It is because of the value of acceleration due to gravity(g) which is more at the poles than at the equator.
  3. As we know
  4. weight(w)=mgwherem=massofthebodyg=accelerationduetogravity
  5. We know the value of 'g'is more at the poles than at the equator.
  6. Hence, the weight of '1kg' of sugar is more at the poles than at the equator.
