Suppose astronomers find an earthlike planet that is twice the size of Earth (that is, its radius is twice that of Earth’s). What must be the mass of this planet such that the gravitational force (Fgravity) at the surface would be identical to Earth’s?
I0 orbits Jupiter with an average radius of 421,700 km and a period of 1.769 days. Based upon these data, what is tha mass of Jupiter?
The mean diameter of the planet Mercury is 4.88106m , and the acceleration due to gravity at its surface is 3.78m/s2 . Estimate the mass of this planet.
Check Your Understanding Earth exerts a tidal force on the Moon. Is it greater than, the same as, or less than that of the Moon on Earth? Be careful in your response, as tidal forces arise from the difference in gravitational forces between one side and the other. Look at the calculations we performed for the tidal force on Earth and consider the values that would change significantly for the Moon. The diameter of the Moon is one-fourth that of Earth. Tidal forces on the Moon are not easy to detect, since there is no liquid on the surface.

The Apollo 11 and 12 missions brought back different types of lunar rocks, available to see at the Lunar Planetary Institute in Clear Lake (see the 'read' link below). If one set of rocks weigh 65 lbs on the moon, what is their weight on earth? The lunar gravity is 5.30 ft/s2 and earth gravity is 32.2 ft/s². The mass of the rocks is slugs (do you know this unit?). The weight of the rocks on earth is lbs.
