A hypothetical planet has a radius 1.8 times that of Earth, but has the same mass. What is the acceleration due to gravity near its surface?

Make them both to where they have the denominator of 18that makes 3/2 equal 27/18 and 1/9 equal 2/18so now you have  27/18x+5=2/18subtract 5 from the other sideso now you have 27/18x+2/18-5then subtract 2/18 from 27/18 to get 25/18x=-5then divide 25/18 by -5 and your answer will be  -5/18

The answer is  the potential energy of the bob at position b is 1.47 joules.if the maximum height of the bob is 0.45 meters when it swings back,1.323   joules of energy was transformed to thermal energy.hope this
