why the value of g is zero at the centre of the earth

Expert Answer
Acceleration due to gravity g is the gravitaional attractive force exerted by earth on unit mass .
Hence acceleration due to gravity is proportional to mass of earth .
When we go inside earth at a depth d from surface , only part of earth of radius (R-d) is exerting
force on other objects , where R is radius of earth .
Outer part of earth which is spherical shell of thickness d does not exert any force
because inside spherical shell garvitational force is zero.
Hence when we go deep into earth , mass of solid spherical part is keep on decreasing , hence
gravitational force exerted on other object is also decreasing .
When we go very near to centre , mass of solid spherical part of earth is negligible and
hence exerted force on other masses is also negligible.
Hence when we are at centre of earth , gravitaional force exerted on other masses is zero.
