  1. The weight of a body at the centre of earth is:
    1. half the weight at the surface
    2. zero
    3. twice the weight at the surface
    4. infinite
Correct Option: B

Weight of a body is the force with which it is attracted towards the centre of earth. The weight of a body, ‘w’ of mass ‘m’ is given by: W = mg, where ‘g’ is the acceleration due to gravity At the centre of earth, value of ‘g’ is zero. Therefore, weight of a body is zero at the centre of the earth.
