Assuming the earth to be a sphere of uniform mass density,how much would a body weigh half way down to the centre of the the earth if it weighed 250N on the surface?

We know,
accⁿ due to gravity at depth h from earth's surface ,
g = go( 1 - h/r)
here, h = r/2
g = go(1 - r/2r) = go/2
Now, weight of body at the surface of the earth = 250N = mgo
hence, weight of body at depth R/2 = mgo/2 = 250/2 = 125 N

acceleration due to gravity of depth of the earth
then,
g = go( 1 - h/r)
, h = r/2
Now, weight of body at the surface of the earth
= 250N = mgo
hence, weight of body at depth
( R/2 )= mgo/2
= 250/2
= 125 N
