Science Physics Gravitational Acceleration


Solving for planet mass.

planet mass

Note:
r must be greater than the radius of the planet

G is the universal gravitational constant
G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2


Inputs:

gravitational acceleration (a) 
radius from the planet center (r) 


|

Conversions:

gravitational acceleration (a) = 0    = 0  meter/second^2
radius from the planet center (r) = 0    = 0  meter


Solution:

planet mass (M)  =  HAS NOT BEEN CALCULATED
