A person standing on a scale gets a reading of 75 Kg at thenorth pole. Later this person and the scale move to the equator. a.If you are at the center of the earth, looking at the person on theequator and ignoring the gravitational attraction from outside theearth, what acceleration of this person do you observe, both inmagnitude and direction? (earth is a perfect sphere with radius of6400km)
B; Find out the person's reading on the scale in kg if he standson the scale, assuming g=10m/s. (free body diagram isrequired).
