Assuming earth to be a sphere of a uniform density, what is the value of gravitational acceleration in a mine $100\, km$ below the earth’s surface ........ $m/{s^2}$. (Given $R = 6400 \,km$)

$g' = g\,\left( {1 - \frac{d}{R}} \right) = 9.8\,\left( {1 - \frac{{100}}{{6400}}} \right) = 9.66\,m/{s^2}$
