We know, weight = mass * gravity 
10 = m * 9.8
m = 10/9.8 = 1.02 Kg

Now, Let, the gravity of that planet = g'
g' = m/r²   [m,r = mass & radius of that planet ]
g' = M/10 / (1/2R)²   [M, R = mass & radius of Earth ]
g' = 4M / 10R²
g' = 2/5 * M/R²
g' = 2/5 * g   
g' = 2/5 * 9.8
g' = 3.92

Weight on that planet = planet's gravity * mass
W' = 3.92 * 1.02
W' = 4 N

In short, Your Answer would be 4 Newtons

Hope this helps!

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Option D) 4A

Explanation:

As the cycle of the wave passes by, the amplitude gives the longest journey when the spot travels from the undistributed position. During each cycle the spot travels "Four times" .

Considering one of this cycle, if it begins to travel from it's undistributed position , there would be four movements i.e

* Upward movement through distance A

*Downward movement through distance A

*Downward again through distance A

*Upward through distance A.

Then it would travel back to its undistributed position held
