Value of g at centre of the Earth = 0
This is because,
g = GM/R²
Since at core R = 0,
∴ g = GM/0²
⇒ g = 0.

- Acceleration due to gravity is a derived vector quantity.
- It is approximately equal to 9.8 m/sec².
- Its dimension formula is M⁰L¹T-².
- It is not constant.
(Why? At earth, g = 9.8 m/s² but in Jupiter, g = 26 m/s². That means we can conclude that in such particles, having a whopping mass, will have a higher 'g'.)
