Answer:
W = 113.98 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Radius of Potatoine[tex]R=6.4\times 10^6\ m[/tex]
Mass of Potatoine, [tex]M=2\times 10^{24}\ kg[/tex]
Mass of Marvin, m = 35 kg
We need to find his weight on Potatoine. Weight of an object is given by :
W = mg
g is acceleration due to gravity, [tex]g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}[/tex]
So,
[tex]W=\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}\\\\W=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 35\times 2\times 10^{24}}{(6.4\times 10^6)^2}\\\\W=113.98\ N[/tex]
So, his weight on Potatoine is 113.98 N.
