Expert Answer:
Acceleration due to gravity on any planet with mass M and radius R = GM/R2
gearth = GMearth/Rearth2
gplanet = GMplanet/Rplanet2
gplanet /gearth = (GMplanet/Rplanet2)/(GMearth/Rearth2)
gplanet /gearth = (Mplanet/Mearth)(Rearth/Rplanet)2
gplanet = (9.8)(1/2)(6)2 = 176.4 m/s2
Weight on the planet = (10)(176.4) = 1764 N.
