Question

The weight of an object of mass 10 Kg at the centre of the earth is *

zero

98N

9.8N

10N

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Kilogram is a measure of mass, not force. An item with 10kg of mass would weight about 98.1 newtons on the surface of the earth. It would weight 0 newtons at the center of the earth.

Answer 2

THE WEIGHT OF AN OBJECT OF MASS $10KG$ AT CENTER OF EARTH WILL BE $0N$.

Explanation:

• The weight of an object is the amount of gravitational force acting on an object. It is calculated by using the formula $F=mg$.
• Whereas the mass is the amount of matter that is present in a body.
• When we move towards the mass remains constant whereas the weight changes as it depends of gravitational force.
• The weight at the surface of earth will be $10*9.8=98N$.
• The weight will be $0N$ at the center of earth as the acceleration due to gravity will be zero.
• Therefore, the weight will be zero at the center of earth.
