The weight of an object on a small planet in Alpha Centauri is governed by the following equation:
w=c*r to the negative 1/2 root
Here, C is a constant, and r is the distance that the object is from the center of the planet.
Solve the above equation for r.
--------------------
w+=+C%2Ar%5E%28-1%2F2%29
w+=+C%2Fsqrt%28r%29
sqrt%28r%29+=+C%2Fw
r+=+C%5E2%2Fw%5E2
