Jupiter has a mass that is approximately 318 times greater than the earth. The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter's surface is 2.64 times larger than that on Earth. From these data, obtain the radius of Jupiter expressed as a multiple of the earth's radius.

Question

mos1635 · Answer

M1=318*Mo
g1=2.64*go

g=G*M/R^2

anonymous · Answer

basically change the equation F=G*Mm/r^2. But what happens to the second mass ?

mos1635 · Answer

g=F/m

mos1635 · Answer

g1=G*M1/R1^2

go=G*Mo/Ro^2
 divide.......
