AI Generated Solution

To find the value of acceleration due to gravity and the weight of a body at the center of the Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for acceleration due to gravity The acceleration due to gravity (g) at a distance r from the center of a planet is given by the formula: \[ g = \frac{G \cdot M}{r^2} \] where: - \( G \) is the universal gravitational constant, - \( M \) is the mass of the planet, ...
