3

An astronaut lands on a planet with twelve times the mass of Earth and the same radius. What will be the acceleration due to gravity on this planet, in terms of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

4

Sally is to walk across a “high wire” that has been strung horizontally between two buildings that are apart. The sag (dip) in the rope when she stands at the midpoint is . If her mass is , what is the tension in the rope at this point?
