A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of \(5\) m/s and angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of \(3\) m/s at the same angle follows a trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet (in ms-2) is: (given,\(g = 9.8\) ms-2)
1. \(3.5\) 2. \(5.9\)
3. \(16.3\) 4. \(110.8\)
