If the question reads:
Space explorers land on a planet that has the same mass as Earth, but they find they weigh twice as much as they would on Earth
What is the radius of the planet?
Do I assume the 'g" = 9.8(2) ?
Since they weight twice as much...does that mean the gravity is doubled?
Im going to use the eqn. F(ma)=GMm/r^2
