Amit buys few grams of gold at the poles as per the instruction of one of his friends. He hands over the same when he meets him at the equator. Will the friend agree with the weight of gold bought? If not, why? [Hint : The value of g is greater at the poles than at the equator.]

Weight of an object = mg where ‘m’ is mass of the object at the equator than at the poles as the magnitude of `g’ is less at the equator than at the poles. So, his friend will not agree with weight of the gold at the poles when measured at equator.
