Your Professor is tired of having to use 9.8m/s^2 all the time to do his calculations concerning gravity. He wants to use a nice round number 10 m/s^2. How much mass would have to be added to the Earth to make this happen? What would the new radius of the Earth be? Assume that the density of the Earth will remain the same. Where could you get the mass needed?

Very thought provocative question. Did your professor ASK you this? If so, he is trying to get you to think critically. So go do that yourself. (I seriously doubt he would prefer to round off to 10; I think you not telling us the truth. I believe he asked you this question, to make you think, and you tell little white lie to get answer from us).

Hi. It would be SO much easier to just change from meters to g units.
