Ha, that is funny! I'm trying to calculate the mass of an imaginary planet. All I have given to me is the radius (12m) and the acceleration due to gravity on that surface (which is 2 m/s2)

I'm sorry, I still don't understand! What is 10 m/s? I didn't think my equations were right, but I really don't know what to try next. I don't know the mass which is really hanging me up.

Homework Statement How do you calculate the mass of an object just from the acceleration from gravity and the radius? Homework Equations My thoughts were F=GM/r2, then once you find F, you can calculate mass by M=F/A G= 6.67 x 10^11 r = 12 Acceleration = 2 m/s^2 The Attempt at a Solution...
