The value of the acceleration of gravity at any latitude is given by g = 9.7087(1
Question:
The value of the acceleration of gravity at any latitude φ is given by g = 9.7087(1 + 0.0053 sin2 φ) m/s2, where the effect of the rotation of tbhye earth as well as the fact that the earth is not spherical have been taken into account. Knowing that the mass of a gold bar has been officially designated as 2 kg, determine to four significant figures its mass in kilograms and its weight in newtons at a latitude of
(a) 0° ,
(b) 45° ,

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
