Hello,
How do the mass and weight of an object at the Earth's center compare with their values at the Earth's surface? My textbook is pretty terrible for the non-physics major. I think they answer this question in eqations rather than plain English, so I'm having a hard time with this. Basically, I'm trying to figure out if I dug a hole down to the center of the Earth and dropped a rock down the hole, how would its mass and weight change from the surface of the Earth to the center of the earth.
Thanks!
