There are 2 resons for which the weight at equator is less that of poles :
1. Rotation of the earth:
The general equation for gravitational acceleration at various latitudes can be given as:
- r is radius of earth ,
is angular velocity of earth and
is angle of latitude.
Now, at equator , value of =0°, but at poles
= 90° , so we can say:
- Since the gravitational acceleration at the equator is less than that of the poles an object will have lesser weight at the equator.
2. Spheroidal shape of earth:
- The it is not completely spherical and the radius at the equator is slightly greater as compared to that of the poles.
- That is why , the gravitational acceleration at the equator is slightly less as compared to that of the poles.
- And hence the weight is lesser at the poles.
