7.Gravitation
medium
The mass of a planet and its diameter are three times those of earth's. Then the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet is ....... $m/s^2$
A
$3.3$
B
$4.9$
C
$19.6$
D
$29.4$
Solution
$\frac{\mathrm{g}_{\text {planet }}=\frac{\mathrm{G}(3 \mathrm{Me})}{(3 \mathrm{Re})^{2}}}{\mathrm{g}=\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{e}}}{\mathrm{Re}^{2}}}$
$g_{ planet}$ $=\frac{9.8}{3} \approx 3.3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
