A) The mass of Jupiter is 317.8000 times that of earth, and its radius is 10.960 times that of earth. Calculate the acceleration of gravity at the surface of Jupiter. Express your answer in g's (i.e. as a ratio to our acceleration of gravity)

B) Then calculate the average density of Jupiter (in kg/m3) given the earth's density is 5.52×103 kg/m3
