The gravitational force on the surface of th Moon is _______ times than that on the surface of the Earth.

A man can jump on the moon ________times as high as on the earth.

Solve the following examples / numerical problems: What will be the gravitational force on 60 kg man on the Moon,Mars and jupiter ? Are they the same ? why ? M (Moon) = 7.36xx10^22 kg, R (Moon)= 1.74 xx 10^6 m. M (Mars) = 6.4xx 10^23 kg, R (Mars) = 3.395 xx10^6 m, M (Jupiter)=1.9xx10^27 kg. R (Jupiter) = 7.15xx10^7m. G=6.67 xx10^-11 N-m^2 / kg^2.

Calculate the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars if the radius of Mars = 3.4 xx 10^3 km and its mass is 6.4 xx 10^23 kg.

If p: The sun has set, q: The moon has risen, then symbolically the statement 'The sun has not set or the moon has not risen' is written as
