Question

What is the weight of a block of mass 5 kg at the centre of the Earth? ( Take g = 10 $\frac{m}{{sec}^2}$ )

• A. 50N
• B. 100N
• C. Zero
• D. Can't be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Zero

Since weight is the force due to the gravity of Earth, since "g” is zero at the centre of the Earth. Therefore, the weight of the block would be zero.
