Solve the below:

Gravitation, centripetal acceleration, and weight

Q: Planet X rotates in the same manner as the earth, around an azis through its north and south poles, and is perfectly spherical. An astronaut who weighs 943.0 N on the earth weighs 915.0 N at the north pole of Planet X and only 850.0 N at its equator. The distance from the north pole to the quator is 18,850 km, measured along the surface of Planet X.
