What is the mass of a body at the center of the Earth?

A. Constant
B. Same as on the surface
C. Doubled
D. Half of surface value
Correct Answer: A. Constant

The mass of a body is an intrinsic property that quantifies the amount of matter it contains. It is a fundamental characteristic and does not change with location, speed, or the presence of a gravitational field. Therefore, the mass of a body at the center of the Earth remains constant, identical to its mass anywhere else.

  • While weight (the force of gravity on an object) would be zero at the Earth's center due to balanced gravitational pulls from all directions, mass is distinct from weight.
  • Options suggesting that mass is 'Same as on the surface', 'Doubled', or 'Half of surface value' are incorrect because mass is invariant to location. These changes would apply to weight, not mass.
