medium
A body welghs $200 \;\mathrm{N}$ on the surface of the earth. ......$N$ will it weigh half way down to the centre of the earth?
A
$150 $
B
$200$
C
$250$
D
$100$
(NEET-2019)
Solution
$g^{\prime}=g\left(1-\frac{d}{R}\right)$
$\mathrm{g}^{\prime}=\mathrm{g}\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{R} / 2}{\mathrm{R}}\right)$
$\mathrm{mg}^{\prime}=\mathrm{mg}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
$\mathrm{W'}=200\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=100 \mathrm{N}$
