Answers (1)

The value of gravity near the equator is less than the value of gravity near the pole.

Two packets are dropped from two airplanes, with identical conditions from pole and equator.

The time to reach the surface will be inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration which means more acceleration ensures lesser time.

Therefore, the packet near the pole will take less time.
