    (a) g = Gm/r^2

    where G=6.67 * 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2,

    m is the mass of the planet,

    r is the radius of the planet.

    7.0 = (6.67 * 10^-11) / (2500^2) * m

    m = (25000000^2 * 9.0) / (6.67 * 10^-11)

    m = 8.4333 x 10^24 kg

    (b) g=Gm/r^2. This time, the radius is 2500+10000 = 12500km g = (6.67 * 10^-11 * 8.43333*10^18) / (12500^2)

    g = 3.6 m/s^2
