Given data:
* The mass of the ball is 2 kg.
* The gravitational field strength at the surface of planet X is 5 N/kg.
Solution:
The weight of the ball on the planet X is,
[tex]W=ma[/tex]where m is the mass of ball, a is the gravitational field strength,
Substituting the known values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} W=2\times5 \\ W=10\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the weight of the ball on the surface of planet X is 10 N.
