A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of \(5~\text{m/s}\) and at an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of \(3~\text{m/s}\) at the same angle follows a trajectory that is identical to the trajectory of the projectile fired from the Earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is:
(given \(g=9.8~\text{m/s}^2\) )

1. \(3.5~\text{m/s}^2\) 2. \(5.9~\text{m/s}^2\)
3. \(16.3~\text{m/s}^2\) 4. \(110.8~\text{m/s}^2\)
