Question

Explain why the value of g is zero at the centre of the earth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration due to the earth's gravity is zero at the centre of the Earth because at that point the mass of the earth is equally distributed in all directions, so pulling equally in all directions for a net zero pull. As the distance from the centre decreases, the acceleration due to gravity also decreases.

Answer 2

Answer:

ANSWER

At the centre of Earth, the force due to upper half of the Earth will cancel the force due to lower half. In the similar manner, force due to any portion of the Earth at the centre will be cancelled due to the portion opposite to it. Thus, the gravitational force at the centre on any body will be 0. Since, from Newton's law, we know F=mg. Since, mass m of an object can never be 0. Therefore, when F=0, then g has to be 0. Thus, the value of g is zero at the centre of Earth.
