If I climb down ladder will I come out feet first at the other end ?

Assuming you somehow manage to get the ladder pass the centre and out the other side; could you throw a rope ladder 6,378km towards space?
Then the next hurdle; have you ever tried to walk feet-first up a ladder? Because that's what you'll be doing once you've got past the centre of the Earth.

No, because a rope ladder wouldn't go past the centre of the Earth - it's too floppy to stand up against gravity.
If it was a solid ladder, then yes - but you'd be pretty tired having just climbed thousands of miles feet first, in several thousand-degree heat!

The question could be replied if we make here assumptions: (a million) The earth isn't spinning. (2) The earth is of uniform density for the era of. (3) the hollow types a diameter of the earth (i.e., it passes for the duration of the earth's center). the hollow must be for the duration of the middle; in any different case, the gravity from the earth might pull you into the area of the hollow at last; your action does not exist alongside a right away line for the comparable reason that a bullet shot right away forward falls in direction of the floor. (4) there is not any air resistance. The gravitational rigidity vector will consistently ingredient in direction of the middle of the earth alongside the path of the hollow no count number what path you're transferring in and its magnitude would be proportional on your distance from the earth's center. In symbols, the rigidity would be of the form ok(c - v), the place v is your place vector and c is the situation vector of the earth's center. this might reason you to execute harmonic action--you will oscillate lower back and forth. you may attain the choice end of the hollow at which ingredient you may quickly provide up and then start up falling interior the choice path. you may proceed to flow lower back and forth between the ends of the hollow protecting a persevering with entire mechanical power.

No because there is a mantle, and a core. It would be impossible to drill a hole to the other side of the earth unless you invented a God machine.

Nope. Gravity would stop in the middle of the earth so your rope will only fall that far.

Sorry,but no way.The rope ladder would burn up before you reached the core..

Nope, you will become a barbecued hunka flesh in the core.

I think you would melt in the earths core, but good question!

if the is no core it would be freaky coz you cant pop out of the earth legs first or you might come out head first coz of gravely

Ha ha, I suppose you would. Have never thought about it before though, that might just keep me awake tonight.
