Question

From the data measured read off the period, P and the orbital radius, a from the
graph for the moon Ganymede . These values will have units of 
hours for the period P, and Jupiter Diameters (J.D.) for a. Enter your results here:
P (period) = _________ hours a (orbital radius) = ________ J.D.

 

After,In order to use Kepler's Third Law, you need to convert the period into years, using: 
1 day = 24 hours and 1 year = 365.25 days. 
The orbital radius must be converted to A.U., using 1050 J.D. = 1 A.U. Enter your 
converted values here: 
P (period) = _________ years a (orbital radius) = ________ A.U.
