At all latitudes, m = 2.000 kg W

(a) φ = 0°, ( )
g = 9.7807 1 + 0.0053 sin 2 φ = 9.7807 m/s 2

W = mg = ( 2.000 )( 9.7807 ) W = 19.56 N W

(
(b) φ = 45°, g = 9.7807 1 + 0.0053 sin 2 45° = 9.8066 m/s 2 )
W = mg = ( 2.000 )( 9.8066 ) W = 19.61 N W

(
(c) φ = 60°, g = 9.7807 1 + 0.0053 sin 2 60° = 9.8196 m/s2 )
W = mg = ( 2.000 )( 9.8196 ) W = 19.64 N W
