a) What is the force of gravity acting on an object lying atthe center of the Earth?

b) A mass m is at a distance 3 x 10^6 meters from thecenter ofthe Earth.What is the acceleration of gravity at thispoint in terms of g=9.8 m/s^2? (Re = 6.37 x 10^6 m, Me = 5.98 x10^24 kg).
Thank you in advance for any help?
