The earth is said to be a sphere with a radius of 6370 km. Inside the earth there is a nucleus and its density is 11.0g/cm^3 and radius is 3000Km, the rest of earth is a mantle (density is 5.00g/cm^3).

The core of the nucleus and mantle coincides with the mass center of the earth. In this case, calculate the gravity(received from the earth) acting on particles with a mass of 1.00g as a function of distance from the center of the earth.

Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface. Model a spherically symmetric planet, with the same radius as the earth, as having a density that decreases linearly with distance from the center. Let the density be 1.30×10^4 kg/m^3 at the center and 3000 kg/m^3 at the surface. What is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of this planet?
