Explain why the value of g is zero at the centre of the earth. I want the ans. from Navneet digest. plzzz...

Explanation:
First of all, let's recall the effect of depth on Acceleration due to gravity (the acceleration due to effect of Earth's gravity @here).
► Acceleration due to gravity decreases with depth.
It is given by,
Here,
- d = depth at which object is kept
- R = Radius of earth / any other celestial body.
- g' = Acceleration due to gravity at depth d
- g = Acceleration due to gravity at surface.
At the centre of the earth,
- g' = g0 (Let)
- d = R (depth = Radius)
Now, plug these in the above relation of acceleration due to gravity with depth of the object.
⇛ g0 = g( 1 - R/R)
⇛ g0 = g(1 - 1)
⇛ g0 = 0
It means, when the object is placed at the centre, and the depth becomes the radius. Thus, acceleration due to gravity = 0 [Value of g = 0]
And, we are done proving this !

Explanation:
First of all, let's recall the effect of depth on Acceleration due to gravity (the acceleration due to effect of Earth's gravity here).
⭐Acceleration due to gravity decreases with depth.
Here,
d = depth at which object is kept
R = Radius of earth / any other celestial body.
g' = Acceleration due to gravity at depth d
g = Acceleration due to gravity at surface.
At the centre of the earth,
g' = g0 (Let)
d = R (depth = Radius)
Now, plug these in the above relation of acceleration due to gravity with depth of the object.
✡g0 = g( 1 - R/R)
✡g0 = g(1 - 1)
✡g0 = 0
It means, when the object is placed at the centre, and the depth becomes the radius. Thus, acceleration due to gravity = 0 [Value of g = 0]
