A body weighs

30 kg

on the surface of the earth. The mass of the body on the planet is

\frac{1}{9} th

of the mass of the body on the surface of the earth and the radius is half of the earth. The weight of the body on the planet is

130.6

N

.
Acceleration due to gravity on the earth

= g

Acceleration due to gravity on the planet

= g ’

Mass of the body on the earth

m_{E} = 30 kg

Mass of the body on the planet

m_{P} = 30 kg

The radius of earth

= r

The radius of the planet

= r ’

{\Rightarrow m}_{P} = \frac{1}{9} m_{E}

\Rightarrow r ’ = \frac{1}{2} r

[Given]
W know that

\Rightarrow g = \frac{Gm}{r^{2}}

[G is gravitational constant]

\Rightarrow g = 9.8 m / s^{2}

…(1)

\Rightarrow g ’ = \frac{G m_{P}}{{r'}^{2}}

…..(2)

\Rightarrow g ’ = \frac{G (\frac{1}{9}) m_{E}}{\frac{1}{2} r^{}}

\Rightarrow g ’ = \frac{4}{9} \times 9.8

Weight of the body on the planet

= mg ’

Weight of the body on the planet

= 30 \times (\frac{4}{9}) \times 9.8

Weight of the body on the planet

= 130.6 N
