A scientific instrument weighing 98 pounds on the Earth is transported to another planet whose mass is 1.7 Earth masses and whose radius is 0.7 Earth radii. What does this instrument weigh on this planet?
To be graded correctly, enter the new weight in pounds (numbers only, no text), rounded off to one decimal place. Your answer must be correct within ±0.5 pounds.
I got 339.99 or 340.0 lbs
