(choose chapter or problem)

Jupiter is about 320 times as massive as the Earth. Thus, it has been claimed that a person would be crushed by the force of gravity on a planet the size of Jupiter since people can't survive more than a few g's. Calculate the number of g 's a person would experience at the equator of such a planet. Use the following data for Jupiter: mass \(=1.9 \times 10^{27} \mathrm{~kg}\), equatorial radius \(=7.1 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~km}\), rotation period \(=9 \mathrm{hr}  55 \mathrm{~min}\). Take the centripetal acceleration into account.
