Recently, researchers have found an extreme, distant (640 lightyears away!) planet where it is believed to rain iron. On one side of the planet, it is permanently day, and the world experiences temperatures of up to 2400 degrees Celsius. This planet is named WASP-76b and is in the Pisces Constellation. It has a radius of ~125,840 km and a mass of ~1.746x1027 kg.
(a) Compute the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of WASP-76B.
(b) How many times greater is a person’s weight on WASP-76B compared to on Earth?
