The weight of an object will be minimum when it is placed at ?

  • A.The north pole
  • B.The south pole
  • C.The equator
  • D.The center of the earth

Answer: D

An object weighs least at the centre of the earth, where it weighs nothing at all.

There the mass of the earth surrounds it equally in every direction, so the pulls cancel exactly and \( g = 0 \). Weight is greatest at the poles, where the radius is smallest and there is no rotational effect.
