The acceleration due to gravity is the force that attracts a body towards the center of the Earth. For inside the earth , It is given by the formula:
g = G × (M r3/ R5)
where:
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Earth
R is the radius of the Earthr
r is the distance from center (inside the earth)
At the center of the Earth, r = 0. Since the radius (R) is in the denominator, the acceleration due to gravity, g, becomes:
g = G × (M × 0)
∴ The acceleration due to gravity at the center of the Earth is zero.
