The depth at which the value of acceleration due to gravity becomes 1/n times the value at the surface is (R be the radius of the earth) :
R/n
R/n²
R(n-1)/n
Rn/n-1

Solution:

The depth at which the acceleration due to gravity becomes \( \frac{1}{n} \) times the surface value is:

\[
d = \left( 1 - \frac{1}{n} \right) R
\]

where \( R \) is the radius of the Earth.
