(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 bythe force of gravity on a planet the size of Jupiter sincepeople cant survive more than a few gs. Calculate thenumber of gs a person would experience at the equatorof such a planet. Use the following data for Jupiter:mass = 1.9 X 1027kg, equatorial radius = 7.1 X 104km,rotation period = 9 hr 55 min. Take the centripetal accelerationinto account.
