Problem

The surface accelerations due to gravity on three planets are gP=15 m/s2g_P=15\,\text{m/s}^2, gQ=3 m/s2g_Q=3\,\text{m/s}^2 and gR=9.8 m/s2g_R=9.8\,\text{m/s}^2. For the same object, which order of its weight (greatest to least) is correct? (a) R>P>QR > P > Q (b) Q>R>PQ > R > P (c) P>R>QP > R > Q (d) P>Q>RP > Q > R
