As per your syllabus, eqn 7.19, for depth d BELOW Earth's surface, the variation of g with d is which?

Ag(d) = g (1 + d/R_E)
Bg(d) = 0 always
Cg(d) = g (1 − 2d/R_E)
Dg(d) = g (1 − d/R_E)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. g(d) = g (1 − d/R_E)
syllabus eqn 7.19: g(d) = g(1 − d/R_E). Only the inner sphere of radius (R−d) contributes outer shell adds zero.
