Question

Gravitational force of an imaginary planet is 6 times strong than that of earth. Determine the value of acceleration due to gravity and weight of an object of mass 50 kg on planet

Answer 1

Gravitational force of earth= 9.8m/s2

Gravitational force of an imaginary planet is = 9.8 x 6= 58.8

acceleration due to gravity=58.8m/s2

weight= mass x acelleration due to gravity

mass = 50kg

acceleration due to gravity = 58.8m/s2

weight= 5 x 58.8 = 294N

294N
