Question

You buy a bag of sugar of weight W at a place on the equator. You take this to Antarctica. Would its weight be the same there ? If not, would it increase or decrease? 

Answer

The value of g is less at equator than at poles. Weight of a body is dependent on the value of 'g'. And, Antarctica  lies in the polar region of the earth.
Therefore, weight of the bag of sugar in Antarctica would increase.
