What happens to the weight of an object as it moves from the Earth's surface towards its centre?
Explanation
Explanation
The value of g decreases as one moves below the Earth's surface towards the centre because less mass of the Earth lies within the radius at that depth, pulling the object; at the centre, g = 0, so weight becomes zero.
PRO TIP
Re-check your working by substituting the answer back into the original question.
