Statement I: A body becomes weightless at the centre of earth. Statement II: As the distance from centre of earth decreases, acceleration due to gravity increases.

Question

Statement I: A body becomes weightless at the centre of earth. Statement II: As the distance from centre of earth decreases, acceleration due to gravity increases. (A) If both statement I and statement II are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I (B) If both statement I and statement II are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I (C) If statement I is true but statement II is false (D) If both statement I and statement II are false

As the distance from centre of earth decreases, acceleration due to gravity decreases and at the centre of earth it becomes zero. g' = g(1 - (d/R)). if d = R then g' = 0

Q. Statement I : A body becomes weightless at the centre of earth.
Statement II : As the distance from centre of earth decreases, acceleration due to gravity increases.

If both statement I and statement II are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I

If both statement I and statement II are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I

If statement I is true but statement II is false

If both statement I and statement II are false

As the distance from centre of earth decreases, acceleration due to gravity decreases and at the centre of earth it becomes zero.

$g^{'} = g (1 - \frac{d}{R})$ . if $d = R$ then $g^{'} = 0$

Q. Statement I : A body becomes weightless at the centre of earth. Statement II : As the distance from centre of earth decreases, acceleration due to gravity increases.
