Q: The weight of an object is maximum:
  • A. at the poles
  • B. equator
  • C. on the tropics
  • D. on the sub tropics
Correct Answer: Option A - The weight of an object is maximum at the poles because the value of the gravitational acceleration is maximum at the poles while it is minimum at the equator.
A. The weight of an object is maximum at the poles because the value of the gravitational acceleration is maximum at the poles while it is minimum at the equator.

Explanations:

The weight of an object is maximum at the poles because the value of the gravitational acceleration is maximum at the poles while it is minimum at the equator.
