A space probe is sent to an alien planet and conducts an experiment in order to determine the acceleration due to gravity on the planet. It produces the following table
Object Rock Grain of sand Metal bolt
Mass 20 grams 0.8 grams 79 grams
Recorded force of gravity :0.1224 N 0.00501 N 0.4871 N
Given this data, which of the following the closest approximation of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet
a
3.8 m/s^2
b
4.0 m/s^2
c
9.9 m/s^2
d
6.1 m/s^2
