Your apparent weight on a scale standing at the equator will be less than your apparent weight while standing on a scale at the North Pole (see figure). This difference occurs due to the Earth's rotation. How much extra mass would a 65.0-kg person have to hold while weighing himself at the equator, so that his apparent weight there is equal to his apparent weight at the North Pole?
