Answer:

1.36 x
10^(-15)
ms^(-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation
g = (G*M)/(R^2) would be used where:

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = universal gravitational constant (6.67408 ×
10^(-11)
m^(3) kg^(-1) s^(-2))

M = mass

R = radius.

assuming the value following 10 is its exponent, which is a little confusing, the values given would simply be substituted.

Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.
