Assume that you weigh a merchandise using a spring balance   at the equator and buy it there. After that, you bring this merchandise to the North pole and using the same spring balance you weigh it again, and then sell it to the same price that you bought. What percentage of your money do you lose or gain? (Take g = 9.8 m/s^2 2 at the pole, Re = 6370 km as the radius of the earth and one day as 86400 sec.)
