Question

Jupiter is 319 times greater than the mass of the earth and it's radius is 11 times greater than radius of the earth if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m per second square then calculate the acceleration due to gravity of the Jupiter​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that,

Mass of the earth =M

Radius of the earth = R

We know that,

g=

R

GM

Now, mass and radius is double

=

4R
