Question

Of the following where would the weight of an object would be the least?

• A. 2000 miles above earth’s surface
• B. At north pole
• C. At equator
• D. At center of earth

Answer 1

The correct option is D

At center of earth

Explanation

1. Weight is given as W=mg.
2. When an object is placed at center of the earth, it experiences gravity (g) from all directions.
3. At center of the earth all gravity (g) force directions are merging so at that point weight of an object would be zero.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d) at center of earth.
