Problem

An object registers a weight of 800 N800\,\text{N} at the poles where the value of gg is 9.83 m/s29.83\,\text{m/s}^2. At the equator, gg is 9.78 m/s29.78\,\text{m/s}^2. (i) Calculate the mass of the object. (ii) Find its weight at the equator. (iii) Will its mass change on moving from the poles to the equator? Give a reason.
