    A body is taken from the centre of the earth to the moon. What will be the changes in the weight of the body?

    Answer:

                    (i) At the centre of the earth, the weight of the body is zero \[(g=0)\]. (ii)As the body is moved from centre to the earth surface, its weight increases (due to increase in\[g\]) (iii) As the body is moved from earth's surface towards the moon, the weight decreases (due to the decrease in\[g\]), becomes zero at the point where the gravitational forces of the earth and moon are equal and opposite. (iv) Again the weight increases, becoming on the moon's surface.
