Remember that there are some important typos in this document! For problem page 1, they give the mass of the Earth incorrectly (it says 5.7 x 10^24 in one place). For problem page 2, they don't provide the radius of the Earth, and the answer to problem 7 is 0.0132 m, not 0.17 m. This suggests there are likely other typos, but we didn't check beyond problem page 2.
