State the values of $g$ and $G$ at the center of the Earth. Identify which of $g$ and $G$ is a vector and which is a scalar.

  • A
    $g = 0, G = 0$; both are scalars.
  • B
    $g = 0, G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \ Nm^2/kg^2$; $g$ is a vector,$G$ is a scalar.
  • C
    $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2, G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \ Nm^2/kg^2$; both are vectors.
  • D
    $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2, G = 0$; $g$ is a scalar,$G$ is a vector.

$A$ planet of radius $R = \frac{1}{10} \times$ (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth $\frac{R}{5}$ on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density $\lambda = 10^{-3} \ kg \ m^{-1}$ into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere,the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth $= 6 \times 10^6 \ m$ and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth $g_e = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)
