The radii of two planets are respectively ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ and their densities are respectively ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$. The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity at their surfaces is
The radii of two planets are respectively ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ and their densities are respectively ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$. The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity at their surfaces is
${g_1}:{g_2} = \frac{{{\rho _1}}}{{R_1^2}}:\frac{{{\rho _2}}}{{R_2^2}}$
${g_1}:{g_2} = {R_1}{R_2}:{\rho _1}{\rho _2}$
${g_1}:{g_2} = {R_1}{\rho _2}:{R_2}{\rho _1}$
${g_1}:{g_2} = {R_1}{\rho _1}:{R_2}{\rho _2}$
The radii of two planets are respectively ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ and their densities are respectively ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$. The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity at their surfaces is
$g = \frac{4}{3}\pi \rho GR$
$\therefore \frac{{{g_1}}}{{{g_2}}} = \frac{{{R_1}{\rho _1}}}{{{R_2}{\rho _2}}}$
