$A$ body weighs $500 \,N$ on the surface of the earth. At what distance below the surface of the earth will it weigh $250 \,N$ (in $\,km$)? (Radius of earth, $R = 6400 \,km$)

In the provided figure of the Earth,the value of acceleration due to gravity is the same at points $A$ and $C$,but it is smaller than its value at point $B$ (surface of the Earth). The value of $OA : AB$ is $x : y$. The value of $x$ is $\ldots \ldots \ldots$

How does the rotation of the Earth affect the acceleration due to gravity on its surface?

The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface at the poles is $g$ and the angular velocity of the earth about the axis passing through the poles is $\omega$. An object is weighed at the equator and at a height $h$ above the poles by using a spring balance. If the weights are found to be the same,then $h$ is: ($h << R$,where $R$ is the radius of the earth)

If the change in the value of $g$ at a height $h$ above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth $x$ below it,then (where $x$ and $h$ are much smaller than the radius of the earth $R_e$):
