A new Earth size planet has been discovered in a distant star system. The planet has six times the mass of Earth and has a radius of twice the radius of the Earth. Do NOT mix or change system of units! There is an equation in the posted handout for solving this problem. If you do not use it you will only receive 1 point for this problem no matter your answer. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the newly discovered planet? (in units of ??/?2)
Gm
using ap = --------
r^2
