An astronaut has weight W on Earth. The astronaut travels to a planet that has a mass 8 times greater than Earth's mass, and its radius is 2 times greater than Earth's radius. What is the astronaut's weight on the planet?

The mass alone would multiply his weight by 8. ... the radius alone would multiply his weight by 1/4. ... Together, his weight becomes ( 8 / 4 ) W = 2W.
