The inertial mass of a particle is, by definition, the mass that appears in Newton's second law. Consider free fall of a particle with gravitational mass mo and inertial mass m' near the surface of a homogeneous planet having gravitational mass MC and radius R. Express the gravitational acceleration a of the particle in terms of these quantities. (Neglect any frictional forces.)
