Question

What is the direction of the gravitational force of the Earth?

Towards the surface of the Earth
Towards the center of the Earth
Away from the surface of the Earth
None of the above

hint Hint:

Earth pulls a body towards the centre.

The correct answer is: Towards the center of the Earth

Here the correct option will be 'b' i.e; towards the centre of the earth. It is because the earth is spherical in shape so according to the centre of mass concept most of the mass is present at the centre. So, when gravitational force attracts the object it is towards the centre.
