What will be the formula for the mass of the Earth in terms of $g$,$R$,and $G$?

$A$ research satellite of mass $200 \,kg$ circles the earth in an orbit of average radius $3R/2$,where $R$ is the radius of the earth. Assuming the gravitational pull on a mass of $1 \,kg$ on the earth's surface to be $10 \,N$,the pull on the satellite will be ........ $N$.

$A$ planet of radius $R = \frac{1}{10} \times$ (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth $\frac{R}{5}$ on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density $\lambda = 10^{-3} \ kg \ m^{-1}$ into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere,the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth $= 6 \times 10^6 \ m$ and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth $g_e = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)

The magnitudes of the gravitational field at distances $r_1$ and $r_2$ from the center of a uniform sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ are $F_1$ and $F_2$ respectively. Then:

The mass of the moon is $(1/8)$ of the earth,but the gravitational pull is $(1/6)$ of the earth. This is due to the fact that:
