Suppose a vertical tunnel is along the diameter of earth (here earth is assumed to be a sphere of uniform mass density ρ). If a body of mass m is thrown in this tunnel, its acceleration at a distance y from the centre is given by

Moderate
Solution

a=g'=g1-hR=gR-hR=gR·y  (R-h=y)

=GMR2R·y=GR343πR3ρ·y=43πρGy
