Question

Find out the correct statement.

• A. The mass and weight of a body are maximum at the poles.
• B. The mass and weight of a body are minimum at the equator.
• C. The mass of a body is minimum and the weight does not change at the equator.
• D. The mass of a body remains the same and the weight is maximum at the poles.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The mass of a body remains the same and the weight is maximum at the poles.

The correct Malayalam translation of the statement "The mass of a body remains the same and the weight is maximum at the poles" is:

"ഒരു ശരീരത്തിന്റെ ഭാരവും അതിന്റെ സ്ഥലത്തിന്റെ പ്രകാരം മാറുന്നില്ല, എന്നാൽ ഭാരം പൊളുകളിൽ പരമാവധി ആകുന്നു."

However, as mentioned previously, the statement is partially correct:

• Mass does remain the same everywhere.

• Weight is indeed slightly greater at the poles due to stronger gravitational force there.
