A body is taken to a height equal to radius of earth and then to a depth equal to radius of earth. What will be its weight in each case ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the weight of a body when it is taken to a height equal to the radius of the Earth and then to a depth equal to the radius of the Earth. ### Step 1: Understanding Weight at the Surface of the Earth The weight \( W \) of a body at the surface of the Earth is given by the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g \] where \( m \) is the mass of the body and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth. ...
