Question #267473

If the earth were the same size but twice as massive, what would be the value of G? What would be the value of g? (Let your equation g = Gm/d2 guide your thinking.)


Expert's answer

The value of G would be the same as it is a constant of our universe, the value of g would increase twice:


g=G(2M)d2=19.6 m/s2.g=\frac{G(2M)}{d^2}=19.6\text{ m/s}^2.
