It better to ask "what is the mass of planet earth?" Approx. 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. The measurement of the planet's weight is derived from gravitational attraction that the Earth has for objects near it. Any two masses have a gravitational attraction for one another. The attraction however is extremely slight. From the measurement you this attraction of the two planets you can determine the mass of the two objects.

Newton showed that, for spherical objects, you can make the simplifying assumption that all of the object's mass is concentrated at the center of the sphere. The following equation expresses the gravitational attraction that 2 spherical object have on one another: F=G*M1*M2/R2.

R is the distance separating the 2 objectsG is a contant that is 6.67259x10(11)M(3/s2 kg.M1 & M2 are the 2 masses that are attracting each otherF is the force of attraction between them

The radius of the Earth is 6,400,000 meters (6.999,125 yards).

What is weight of the body at the center of the earth?

Zero


Is the weight of a body constant at all places on the earth?

The weight of a person is not constant at all places on the Earth. The weight becomes zero at the center of the earth or far away from the Earth.

Zero.


Does weight act towards the centre of the earth?

Yes, at the center it becomes zero.


What will be the weight of an object at centre of earth if it is 10kg on surface of earth?

The weight of the object at the center of the Earth would be zero. This is because at the center of the Earth, the gravitational forces from all directions cancel each other out.


What will be our Weight at center of earth if it was hollow sphere?

Theoretically, Zero. The gravitational pull of the earth on you (which is the definition of weight), whether the earth is solid or hollow, is the same in all directions because it is spherically symmetrical. These forces cancel each other out, leaving you with zero net weight. In real life, the earth is not a perfect sphere, but this model describes the situation adequately.


At what height from the earth the weight of an object become half of the weight on earth?

The weight of an object becomes half at a height where the gravitational force is half of the force on Earth, about 3,578 km above Earth's surface. At this height, the object and Earth are attracted with equal and opposite force.


What will be the weight of the man standing on weighting machine and freely fall?

Zero relative to the weighing machine. His same weight relative to the earth.


How much weight has been put on earth from buildings to vehicles?

Zero. All the materials used to make the buildings and vehicles came from the Earth itself so the net result would be zero.


As you get farther away from the earth what will happen to your weight?

It will steadily decrease as you move farther from the Earth's center of gravity. Eventually one's "Earth weight" can reach zero when the gravity of another body, such as the Moon or Sun, completely counteracts it. *In orbit, or freefall, measured weight is zero. In outer space, objects are always in "microgravity" having imperceptible weight, unless they approach close to another large body.
