Problem 1:
You are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system. Prior to landing on a planet you
measure its radius to be 9 x 106 m and its rotation period to be 22.3 hours. You have
previously determined that the planet orbits 2.2 x 10¹¹ m from its star with a period of
402 days (3.473 x 107 sec). Once on the surface you find that the free-fall acceleration is
12.2 m/sec².
a) What is the mass of the planet? Answer: 1.5 x 1025 kg.
b) What is the mass of the star? Answer: 5.2 x 1030 kg.
