At which of the following place, weight of an object is maximum?

At equator

At poles

At tropic of Cancer

At tropic of Capricorn

✅ Correct Option: 2

Since the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator, the polar radius is smaller than the equatorial radius. Because $g \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$ , gravitational acceleration is greatest at the poles. Hence the weight of an object (W = mg) is maximum at the poles.
