Show that the weight of all bodies is zero at the centre of the earth.

Answer»

The value of acceleration due to gravity at a depth 'd' below the surface of radius R is given bt 'g' = g(1 - d/R). At the centre of the earth, d = R. Therefore, g' = 0. The weight of a body of mass 'm' at the centre of the earth = mg' = m x 0 = 0
