The mass and diameter of a planet have twice the value of the corresponding parameters of earth. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet is ........ $m/{\sec ^2}$.
$\frac{{g'}}{g} = \frac{{M'}}{M}{\left( {\frac{R}{{R'}}} \right)^2} = \left( {\frac{{2M}}{M}} \right)\;{\left( {\frac{R}{{2R}}} \right)^2} = \frac{1}{2}$
$⇒$ $g' = \frac{g}{2} = \frac{{9.8}}{2} = 4.9\;m/{s^2}$
