     A body weight 500 N on the surface of the earth. How much would it weigh half way below the surface of the earth                            [Pb. PET 2001; BHU 2004]

    A) 125 N 

    B)             250 N

    C)             500 N 

    D)             1000 N

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Weight on surface of earth, \[mg=500\,N\] and weight below the surface of earth at \[d=\frac{R}{2}\]             \[m{g}'=mg\left( 1-\frac{d}{R} \right)=mg\left( 1-\frac{1}{2} \right)=\frac{mg}{2}=250\,N\]
