The force of gravity on Jupiter is 24.8 ms-2, a little over 2.5 times that on earth.
No, the gravity of this planet will not be greater than that of earth. If the new planet has a mass equal to that of earth, its total gravity will be the same. There is a little ambiguity regarding 4 times earth density and half the earth's diameter if the idea is to keep the mass of this proposed planet the same as the earth. But setting that aside and assuming that the mass of the new planet is the same as earth's, the gravimetric field will be the same. Gravity is proportional to mass, and identical mass yields identical gravity. Now to the good part! The surface gravity of the new planet will be considerably higher than the surface gravity of earth. Both planets have the same mass and the same gravity, but a person standing on the surface of the new planet will be experiencing a whole lot more force pulling on him. All the mass of the new planet is beneath this person, but he's a lot closer to the center of gravityand will weigh a whole lot more.
The force of gravity on Jupiter is 23.1m/s2. Compared to Earth, which has a force of gravity of 9.8m/s2, Jupiter's gravity is 2.4x greater.
If it is a rocky planet with a large iron core, Gliese 581c has a radius approximately 50% larger than that of Earth. Gravity on such a planet's surface would be approximately 2.24 times as strong as on Earth. If Gliese 581 c is an icy and/or watery planet, its radius would be less than 2 times that of Earth, even with a very large outer hydrosphere. Gravity on the surface of such an icy and/or watery planet would be at least 1.25 times as strong as on Earth.
Not always. The force of gravity is given by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: F=(Gm1m2)/r2 So if a planet had twice the mass of the earth, and the same radius, gravity would be twice as strong. However, if you had a huge planet that weighed the same as the earth (let's say it had a radius 3x greater), then gravity would be 9 times weaker at the surface. The reason big planets like Jupiter have so much gravity is becuase they have A LOT more mass than the earth does.

Uranus.
Jupiter has approximately that surface gravity.

The planet Venus. See more details here: http://www.answers.com/topic/Venus
You already stated in the question that it has 3.4 times the gravity of Earth.
At the surface, it is 2.64 times its value at the Earth's surface.
Yes, because if you are 90 pounds on earth you would be 15 pounds on the moon. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and the force of gravity depends on the mass of the object. The force of gravity on the earth is six times greater than that of the moon, or, the force of gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of the earth. On earth, a person's weight would vary slightly between sea level and the top of a mountain. This is because the force of gravity is stronger the closer an object is to the center of the earth (or moon, or planet).
yes as the wight is directly proportional to gravity. In fact, weight itself is a force, as force is F=ma, such as weight on earth (or F) is a persons mass times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (9.8 m/s2), and the force due to gravity changes depending where you are sense force due to gravity is F=G(m1m2/r2). So changing the mass of the planet changes the "weight" (aka force)
No. The gravitational pull at the surface of a planet depends on that planet's mass and radius. Jupiter has the strongest gravity of any planet in the solar system: 2.53 times the surface gravity on Earth. Mercury has the weakest surface gravity at just 37% the gravity on Earth.
The force of gravity on the surface of planet Neptune, and all of the other gas giants, is surprisingly weak, because most of it is not made of solid material. Neptune's force of gravity is about 1.14 times that of Earth. If you weighed 100 pounds and if you could stand on the surface of Neptune (which you couldn't), you would weigh 114 pounds.
