Skills for analyzing processes involving circular motion

Christine’s bathroom scale in Maine reads 110 lb when she stands on it. Will the scale read more or less in Singapore if her mass stays the same? To answer the question, (a) draw a force diagram for Christine. (b) With the assistance of this diagram, write an expression using Newton’s second law that relates the forces exerted on Christine and her acceleration along the radial direction. (c) Decide whether the reading of the scale is different in Singapore. List the assumptions that you made and describe how your answer might change if the assumptions are not valid.
