The correct answer is:
150 N
Given, distance of bottom of hole from the surface of earth (d) = half the radius of earth =
If g be the value of gravitational acceleration on the surface of earth, then weight of body
If g’ be the gravitational acceleration at the bottom of hole, then
Weight of the body on the bottom of hole,
If g be the value of gravitational acceleration on the surface of earth, then weight of body
If g’ be the gravitational acceleration at the bottom of hole, then
Weight of the body on the bottom of hole,
