Jupiter has a mass of 1.898x1027 kg and radius of 69,912 km. If we were to treat Jupiter as if it was a sphere of uniform density, what would be the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity of the 340 kg Galileo space probe when it was 140 km below the "surface." This probe was shot into the atmosphere of Jupiter to learn more about how it varies with depth. The probe's signal was lost when it was about 140 km deep.
