Answer:
The weight is 0.121 N
Explanation:
The weight (W) is defined by:
W=mg (I)
where m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity
You have to calculate the mass of the hammer and then the acceleration of gravity on the given planet, in order to calculate the weight of the hammer in that planet
Dividing (I) by g:
m=W/g
g on earth = 9.8 m/s²
Calculating the mass of the hammer:
m=11/9.8=1.1 kg
Now, you have to calculate the acceleration of gravity on the other planet, which is given by:
[tex]g=G\frac{M}{R^{2} }[/tex]
where G is the universal gravitational constant , M is the mass of the planet, and R is the radius of the planet.
Is known that G= 6.67 x [tex]10^{-11}[/tex] N m²/kg²
Calculating the value of g:
g = [tex](6.67)(10^{-11}) \frac{(3)(10^{18}) }{[(4.21)(10^{4})] ^{2} }[/tex]
g= 0.11 m/s²
So the weight in that planet (Wp) is:
Wp=(1.1)(0.11) = 0.121 N
