Explain Will 1 kg of sugar be more at poles or at the equator?
Mass. . . . . same at the poles as it is at the equator. Weight . . . more at the poles Cost . . . . . more at the poles
Why does the weight of a substance changes when weighed in a diff parts of world?
it is because earth is not perfectly spherical and also it spins on its Axis. The centrifugal force is greater at the equator and zero on poles. So the apparent weight at equators is lee because of centrifugal force. Also Earth is flattened at the poles which means that there is more acceleration due to gravity at poles[since g=GM/(R^2] In all, ate value of g ranges from around 9.7-9.9 on earth. This causes all the difference.
Why does spinning effect a planets shape?
Gravity causes a spinning planet to stay more or less round, assuming it became that way when it was still molten or is a gas planet. However, centrifugal force can oppose the gravitational force, causing a planet to bulge out at its equator and flatten slightly at the poles.
Would you weigh more at North Pole?
Yes, slightly more, for two reasons: 1) You are nearer the Earth's center, and no centrifugal force as when you are at the equator.

What has more gravity the equator or north pole?
The North pole due to centrifugal force and its effects at the equator
Where is the strength of gravitatioal force in the poles or equator?
The bulging Earth has more surface "gravity" at its equator.
Why would an object way less at the equator than at the poles?
Not for sure but it seems like there would be more gravity at the equator than at the poles. The earth rotates and creates a centrifugal acceleration at the equator the counters the force of gravity. acceleration due to gravity =GM/R2 acceleration due to rotation =V2/R So gravity at the equator is GM/R2 - V2/R
The force that dictates that objects weight more at the equator than at the poles is?
gravity
What is the force that dictates that objects weigh more at the equator than at the poles?
Well the above question is not true, The same object will weigh less at the equator than at the poles (of Earth). The force is the force of gravity and the effect is because the object placed at the poles will be nearer the center of the Earth than at the equator because the Earth is an Oblate Spheroid.

Why is the gravitational field strength stronger at the poles?
Gravity is a downward attractive force exerted from the centre of the earth. In other words, the closer you get to the centre of the earth, the stronger the gravitational field strength. The earth is not a perfect sphere. Both the north and south poles are closer to the centre of the earth. In other words, imagine the earth as a a slightly compressed football where the equator is farther from the centre of the earth while both the poles are closer. And because they are closer to the centre of the earth, gravitational field strength is stronger at the poles. But even if Earth were a perfect sphere you would still weigh slightly less at the equator than at the poles due to a small upward centrifugal force that results from Earth's rotation.
What is the force that dictates that objects weight more at the equator than at the poles?
There is a relatively tiny effect near the equator due to the spinning of the earth, where centrifugal force (actually your inertia, not really a force) tends to keep you moving in a straight line while the earth's gravity wants to pull you towards the center. The net effect is that you weight just a tiny bit less on the equator than at the poles.http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=310
