The weight of a given object on the centre of the earth of radius `R_e` is……….

A

zero

B

infinite

C

`R_e`, times to that on the surface of the earth

D

`1/R_e^2` times to that on the surface of the earth

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`F=(Gm_1m_2)/(d^2), m_1=m_2=1` unit and =1 unit, so we get F=G.
