Question
a 500g balance weight is transported to the surface of planet z where an objects weight is measured to be 5.00N. The radius of the planet is 5.0x10^5m. What is the mass of planet z?

well,
F = GMm/r^2
5.00 = GM(0.5)/(5.0*10^5)^2
Plug in G and solve for M
F = GMm/r^2
5.00 = GM(0.5)/(5.0*10^5)^2
Plug in G and solve for M
