Question
Riya buys a bag of sugar of weight W at a place on the equator. She takes it to Antarctica. The weight of a sugar bag in Antarctica:
- Increases
- Decreases
- It remains the same as the weight at a place on the equator
- It cannot be said.
Hint:
Gravity plays an important role in weight.
The correct answer is: Increases
The correct option is a)Increases.
We know that gravitational acceleration is lowest at the equator and highest at the poles (the South Pole is at the South Pole). So the weight of the bag will increase in Antarctica.
