    Ratio of Distances using Acceleration of Gravity

    Thanks I'll give that an attempt Another question. Is it possible that the planet with radius R have different masses? Ex. GM/2R2=Gm/R2 I feel that this is wrong because of the fact that the planet is at constant density. Therefore at Radius R it must have mass M.

    Ratio of Distances using Acceleration of Gravity

    Homework Statement A constant-density planet of radius R has a gravitational acceleration ag = as at its surface. There are two distances from the center of the planet at which ag = as/2. Show that the ratio of these distances may be given by R = 2√2 Homework Equations ag= GM/R2...
