I have got this word problem and I tried to solve but could not find the exact answer and I need the way to do it because my upcoming test has similar problems to it,,
Saturnn has an equatorial radius of 6.00 * 107m and a mass of 5.67 * 1026Kg. Calculate the following:
a) the acceleration due to gravity of Saturn.
b) how many times greater is a person's weight on Saturn compared to that on Earth?
F= mg
Fg= Gm1m2 / r2
I don't know where to start from because I am used to solve similar problems starting with the acceleration due to gravity which is known to be 9.81m/s2, but this only applies for Earth gravity and I don't know how to start solving this problem
Thank you for any help
