What is the gravitational field strength of a planet where the weight of a 60kg astronaut is 300N?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Gravitational field strength is obtained from the acceleration of a planet.
Force = 300N, Mass m = 60 kg
Gravitational field strength
`a=(F)/(m)=(300)/(60)=5Nkg^(-1)`
