W is the weight of a man on the surface...

W is the weight of a man on the surface of the earth. What would be his weight, if he goes to a depth (h) equal to the radius of the earth, below the surface of the earth?

A

`W'=(W)/(2)`

B

`W'=0`

C

`W'=(W)/(3)`

D

`W'=(W)/(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`g'=g[1-(x)/(R )]` If x = R, then `g' = 0 therefore W' = 0`
