Answer:
It is (1/5)th as much.
Explanation:
If we apply the equation
F = G*m*M / r²
where
m = mass of a man
M₀ = mass of the planet Driff
M = mass of the Earth
r₀ = radius of the planet Driff
r = radius of the Earth
G = The gravitational constant
F = The gravitational force on the Earth
F₀ = The gravitational force on the planet Driff
g = the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth
g₀ = the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the planet Driff
we have
F₀ = G*m*M₀ / r₀² = G*m*(5*M) / (5*r)²
⇒ F₀ = G*m*M / (5*r²) = (1/5)*F
If
F₀ = (1/5)*F
then
W₀ = (1/5)*W ⇒ m*g₀ = (1/5)*m*g ⇒ g₀ = (1/5)*g
It is (1/5)th as much.
