Q. ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY OF THE EARTH
Radius of earth is 6400 km and that of mars is 3200 km. Mass of mars is 0.1 that of earth's mass. Then the acceleration due to gravity on mars is nearly.

Q. The strength of gravity on Mars is only

40 %

of that on earth. If a child has a mass of

60 k g

on earth, what would the child's weight be on Mars?

Q. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Mars if its diameter is 6760 km and mass one-tenth that of earth. The diameter of earth is 12742 km and acceleration due to gravity on earth is

9.8 m / s^{2}

Q. The radius of the earth is about

6400

km and that of mars is

3200

km. Thus mars of the earth are about

10

times the mass of mars. An object weighs

200 N

on the surface of the earth. Then its weight on the surface of mars will be
