What will be the gravitational potential on the surface of a planet of mass M and radius R ?

A body weight 90 kgf on the surface of earth. How much will it weight on the surface of a planet whose mass is 1/9 and radius 1/2 that of the earth ?

The attraction force of a satellite of any planet varies directly with the mass (M) of the planet and inversely with the square of their distances . Again the square of the period of the rotation of the satellite varies directly with the distance between them and inversely with the attraction force. if m_1, d_1 , t_1 and m_2 ,d_2,and t_2 be two sets of corresponding values of M (mass) , D (Distance) and T (time) , them prove that m_1t_1^2d_2^3 =m_2t_2^2d_1^3 .

Gravitational acceleration on the surface of a planet is (sqrt(6)//11) g, where g is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth. The average mass density of the planet is 2/3 times that of the earth.
