If density is constant then surface gravity increases linearly with radius: an r^(3) mass divided by gravity's r^(2) falloff.
So 10x the gravity means 10x the diameter and 1000x the mass. Crazy!
Density skews things, but even ignoring it is good enough for a sanity check. (I'm pretty sure 2x the density = 2x the gravity at the same size)
