Answer:
No, those packets do not take same time to reach the
surface of the earth. Because the value of g (i.e., acceleration due to gravity
is) different at poles and equator due to rotation of the earth and is given by and at poles where as at equator .
So, value of g at equator is less than value of g at poles
and we know that. i.e.,Since, g is greatest
at the poles than at the equator. So, packet dropped above the North Pole will
reach first at the surface of the earth.
