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.

Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?

No, centrifugal force is greater at the poles than at the equator because the Earth's rotation causes a bulging effect at the equator that counteracts the centrifugal force. This is why objects weigh slightly less at the equator compared to the poles.


How does the earth rotation affect the measurement of the weight of an object at the equator?

Due to the centrifugal force caused by Earth's rotation opposing gravity for objects on the equator, objects there weigh about 0.5% less than they do on the poles. So an object that weighs 200 N at the poles weighs about 199 N on the equator.


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


Why is the weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles?

The weight of an object is less at the equator compared to the poles due to the centripetal force produced by the Earth's rotation. At the equator, this force partially counteracts the force of gravity, effectively reducing the object's weight. This difference in weight is more noticeable for objects with larger mass.


Where the gravitational force is greater in equator poles or Mt. Everest?

poles


Which best explains why the weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles?

The earth is not a perfect sphere. The spin of the earth causes it to buldge out at the equator, which means the equator is further from the center of the earth then the poles are. The further an object is from the center of mass of another object, the less effect the gravity of those objects will have on each other. So at the equator, an object is being effected less by the gravity of the earth then it is at the poles.


Why does the weight of an object change when it is moved from the equator to poles?

say mass(m) = 100 kgvelocity(v) at equator = 464.6 metres / secondradius(r) to earth surface = 6 371 000 metresacceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.82 (m / s) / s.the force of attraction (f) anywhere on earths surface, = m * g = 100 * 9.82 = 982 newtons.the force of repulsion / centripetal force (f) at the equator = mass * (v^2) / r =3.39 newtons


Is the force and gravitational force poles and equator is same or different?

its is different ok :)


Where is the strength of gravitatioal force in the poles or equator?

The bulging Earth has more surface "gravity" at its equator.


Why does the weight of an object change when it is moved from the equator to the poles?

The weight of an object changes when it is moved from the equator to the poles due to the variation in gravitational force caused by the Earth's rotation. The force of gravity is slightly stronger at the poles compared to the equator, leading to a small change in weight.


Why is gravity stronger at the poles than the equator?

Gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator because of the Earth's shape. The Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator due to its rotation. This bulging at the equator causes objects to be farther away from the center of the Earth, resulting in weaker gravitational pull compared to the poles.
