Question

Transcribed Image Text:Required information
A star near the visible edge of a galaxy travels in a uniform circular orbit. It is 43,600 ly (light-years) from the galactic
center and has a speed of 275 km/s.
Estimate the total mass of the galaxy based on the motion of the star. Gravitational constant is 6.674-10-11 m3/(kg-s2) and mass of the
Sun M.-1.99-1030 kg.
