One consequence of Newton's law of gravitation is that the gravitational force exerted by a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R on an object outside the sphere (including on its surface) equals the force that would be exerted by a point mass M located at the sphere's center.
Thus, for an object of mass m on the surface, a distance R from the center, the gravitational force exerted by a uniform sphere is:
The radius of a planet is three times that of Earth and its mass is nine...
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet is nine times as large as it is on the surface of Earth. The mass density of the planet is known to be seven times that of Earth. What is the radius of this planet in terms of Earth's radius? RE Rplanet t

Planet X has 20 times the mass of the earth and 3 times the earth's radius. It orbits star Y at a distance of 8 AU, where 1 AU is the earth-sun distance. Star Y has twice the mass of our sun. (a) What is the orbital period of Planet X in years? (b) An astronaut has an earth weight of 120 lbs. What is her weight on the surface of planet X?
A spherical planet has 12 times the earth's mass and has three times the earth's radius. It orbits a star with 5 times the sun's mass with an orbital period of 7 years. If an alien spaceship weighs 180 Zorgs on the alien planet (where a Zorg is the alien unit of weight), then what is the weight of their spaceship on earth in Zorgs?
