Acceleration due to gravity at a height $h$ is equal to that at a depth $d$ below the surface of the earth,if

At what distance above and below the surface of the earth will a body have the same weight? (Take the radius of the earth as $R$.)

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 Earth suddenly stops rotating,then the weight of an object of mass $m$ at the equator will $[\omega$ is the angular speed of the Earth and $R$ is its radius]

The dependence of acceleration due to gravity $g$ on the distance $r$ from the centre of the earth, assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$ of uniform density, is as shown in which of the following figures?
