Answer:
The acceleration due to gravity of planet x is 2.222
Explanation:
Let, the mass of earth is m and radius of earth is r.
acceleration due to gravity of earth is g
and acceleration due to gravity of planet x is g(x)
according to question
mass of planet x = 2m and radius of planet x = 3 r
now, g = Gm/r^2 -------1
g(x) = G2m/(3r)^2
g(x) = G2m/9r^2 ------2
dividing equation 2 by 1
g(x)/g = G2m/9r^2 .r^2/GM
g(x) = 2/9 .g
putting the value of g =10
g(x) = 2/9 .10
= 20/9 = 2.222
