I think I have done this problem correctly,
The mass of a robot is 6680 kg. This robot weighs 3070 N more on planet A than it does on planet B. Both planets have the same radius of 4.00 x 10^8. What is the difference Ma - Mb in the masses of these plantes?
I used this equation F = G * (m1*m2)/(r^2)
F = 3070 N
m1 = robot
mb = extra mass of planet A
r = 4.00 x 10^8
3070 = 9.673 x 10^-11 * 6680m2/ (4.00 x 10^8)^2
3070 = (2.786 x 10^-24)m
1.1019 x 10^27 = m
Is this correct or do I have it totally wrong?
