g=M1 M2/(r (M1+M2)

do your own homework :P

HA! they gave us this quiz in university! it took me wuite some time to figure it out. i can’t be bothered again…dysarithmia.

F = GMm/r²

F ≅ M/r²

mass of earth = 5.97 E24 kg
radius or earth = 6.36 E6 m

so

F_planet X = (5.88 E26/ 5.97 E24)/(7.9 E7/ 6.36 E6)² F_earth

F_planet X = 0.638 F_earth
