Planet A has twice the mass of Planet B. From this information, what can we conclude about the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Planet A compared to that at the surface of Planet B?

A) The acceleration due to gravity on Planet A is greater than the acceleration due to gravity on Planet B, but we cannot say how much greater.
B) The acceleration due to gravity on Planet A must be four times as great as the acceleration due to gravity on Planet B.
C) The acceleration due to gravity on Planet A must be twice as great as the acceleration due to gravity on Planet B.
D) The acceleration due to gravity on Planet A is the same as the acceleration due to gravity on Planet B.
E) We cannot conclude anything about the acceleration due to gravity on Planet A without knowing the radii of the two planets.

A very thin silicon chip is bonded to a 6-mm thick aluminum substrate by a 0.02-mm thick epoxy glue. Both surfaces of this chip-aluminum system are cooled by air at 250C, where the convective heat transfer coefficient of air flow is 100 W/(m2 K). If the heat dissipation per unit area from the chip is 104 W/m2 under steady state condition, draw the thermal circuit for the system and determine the operating temperature of the chip.
