Answer :
Final answer:
By moving from the North Pole to the equator, one would lose around 6.1 N in weight due to the change in gravitational constant 'g'. The weight loss is due to the change in gravitational pull, not to any actual loss in mass. None of the options provided match this answer.
Explanation:
The concept reflected in the question relates to the difference in the gravitational constants at the North Pole and the equator and how this impacts weight. Your weight is a measure of the gravitational force between you and the Earth. Changing location changes this gravitational force slightly as the gravitational constant ('g') is not uniform worldwide but varies with latitude and altitude.
To answer how much weight you would lose by moving from the North Pole to the equator, we need to calculate the initial and final weights. We use the equation w = mg, where 'm' is mass and 'g' is the gravitational constant.
At the North Pole, your weight would be w = 122 lbs * 9.83 m/s² = 1199.26 N.
At the equator, your weight would be w = 122 lbs * 9.78 m/s² = 1193.16 N.
The difference in weight therefore, would be 1199.26 N - 1193.16 N = 6.1 N.
Please note that none of the provided options is correct. So the exact difference is not listed among your multiple choice answers.
