AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the weight of a body with a mass of 10 kg at the center of the Earth, where the acceleration due to gravity (g) is given as zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Weight**: - Weight (W) is defined as the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It can be calculated using the formula: \[ W = m \times g ...
