The ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the planet and the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is 1:8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the mass of the earth be M and radius R
According to the question, the mass of the planet will be M/2 and radius 2R
We know that
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is given by
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet
Ratio
Hope this answer is helpful.
