To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the acceleration due to gravity on the new planet. We know that the acceleration due to gravity (g) is given by the formula: \[ g = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2} \] where: - \( G \) is the gravitational constant, - \( M \) is the mass of the planet, ...
