Consider the following statements:
A body weighs less at the equator than at the poles because:
1. earth rotates about its axis.
2. the ice cap at the poles increases gravitational pull.
3. equatorial diameter is greater than the polar diameter.
4. of some unknown facts.
Which of the statements given above is/are incorrect?
Assertion [A]: Gravitational attraction is a central force and therefore in motion of planets in the solar system, the angular momentum is conserved.
Reason [R]: In the motion of planets of the solar system, equal areas are swept in equal time.
Assertion [A]: Space rocket are usually launched in the equatorial line from west to east
Reason [R]: The acceleration due to gravity is minimum at the equator.
