Weight-mass graph - Find g on different planets

W = mg, where g is the gravitational field strength.
g = W/m, hence g is the gravitational force (pull) acting per unit mass of an object.
In addition, in the weight-mass graph, the gradient represents the g.
I.e the steeper the line, the higher the g for the planet.
Mass is the amount of matter in the body. So for this question, it is important to know that mass remains constant whether it is on planet P or Q.
