Question
The weight of an object of mass 15000 grams at the centre of the earth is ...... b) 147 N c) 147 Kg d) 150 N e) Zero
Solution
The weight of an object at the center of the Earth is zero. This is because weight is the force exerted by the gravitational pull of the Earth, and at the center of the Earth, this force is evenly distributed in all directions, effectively cancelling out. Therefore, the answer is e) Zero.
