SEEMA BUYS FEW GRAINS OF GOLD AT THE POLES AS PER THE INSTRUCTIONS OF ONE OF HER FRIENDS . SHE HANDS OVER THE SAME WHEN SHE MEETS HER AT THE EQUATOR . WILL THE FRIEND AGREE WITH WEIGHT OF GOLD BOUGHT .IF not WHY?
The friend will not agree with the weight .Because weight of an object is obtained by multiplying mass with acceleration due to gravity at that point .Since the value of 'g' is not same at poles and equator the weight will be different at both the places.
