Right, there would be weightlessness at the geostationary orbit point, which is at 36000km, and an outwards-acting centrifugal force anywhere further out. The standard design calls for some kind of anchor, like an asteroid, some distance out past geostationary that lifts the whole structure.

But 10000km is far below geostationary, so you still get gravity directed torwards the Earth.
