Tu hi chaava
gravity is 0 on center of earth
Simple . Yet people make it complicated :P
g' = g * ( 1 - (h/R) ) ... for going below the earth's surface.......... put h=r and get g' = 0
of curse the gravity must be 0
seriously, i just think the man died when he reaches the center of the earth. he become ashes
g=0 at the center of earth and weight W=mg=0 of any object
Gravitational forces cancel out.
You have got it wrong. Your answer might seem logically correct. Had that been the case, gravitational forces from all directions would have cancelled out, but that's far from reality. Here, what actually happens is, the value of "g" decreases as we move above or below the Earth's surface. And it becomes zero at the center of earth (the same would happen at some higher point, above the surface). If you want a more theoretical explanation, go for Dương Tươi's answer. Hope it helps...
since weight=mass gravity therefore weight at the center of the earth=4.08163265306 0=0

Let's prove Gravitational acceleration on earth's center equals to 0. Basically, we suppose that mass of every point of the earth are the same. Acceleration g at a surface point is g = R 2 G . M = G × ρ 3 4 π R 2 R 3 = 3 4 π ρ × G R In the similar way, we have at an underground point: g ′ = 3 4 π ρ × G ( R − h ) . h is distance from surface to the point here. So, g g ′ = R R − h or g ′ = g R R − h . In this problem, h = R and g ′ = 0 . However, we can guess easily the answer. :D
