IF you could dig a hole to the center of the Earth and stand there?

garima = well obviously, its a hyperthetical question!

In one of David Attenbouroughs many documentaries (possibly Blue Planet).divers take a polystyrene cup with them dive some of the deepest ravines discovered.(obviously they did this in a 2 man sub!) the cup was tied to the outside of the sub.it was crushed to 1/7th of its size!i think this was at not much more than 2 miles BSL,so if your tunnel sprung a leak then i think you'd be in a lot of trouble Ste B!!
Sorry i haven't answered your question buddy but as air is many,many times lighter than water i dont know if it would crush you,maybe burst eardrums,though.
I wonder how much attraction there would be between you and the epicentre,therefore,how much you would weigh and how much force would be needed to lift u back up.
A very good question mate, have a star!

Actually the gravity at the CENTER of the Earth is not zero because the Center of Gravity of the Earth/Moon system is about a 1000 km from the center of the Earth.

mass of earth = 5.9742 × 10^24 kilograms
radius of earth = 6,378.1 kilometers
Alright: Gravity = Gm1m2/r^2, where G = the universal gravity constant, m1 = the mass of the first object, m2 = the mass of the second object, and r = distance between the two objects.
Normally on earth, Gravity:(assume that you weigh 100kg)
(6.67x10^-11)(5.9742x10^24)(100)/(63781000)^2
Gravity = 9.8N
No compare that to you being say, 1m from the center of the earth:
(6.67x10^-11)(5.9742x10^24)(100)/(1)
Gravity = 3.9x10^16
This gravity is 3.9x10^15(39 trillion) times more powerful than the amount of gravity acting on you now (aka, you would get crushed instantaneously)

I feel the vertical gravity. If i dig a hole and wants to stand in the upper surface area? i can't

If you mange to measure the gravitation in the centre of the earth, then you will measure no gravitation from the earth.
The gravitation is equal in all directions from our planet.
But ou will measure gravtation fro the sun, the moon etc if you have good eqipment

If I understand the question, what would be the effect of gravity on you at the earths center?
I am going to guess you would be crushed.

You would be weightless. The gravity of the earth would be equal from all directions. Not from just under your feet like at the surface.

no gravity, the mass at around you would cancel the force.
