The planet Mars has two moons, if one of them has a period 7 hours, 30 minutes and an orbital radius of 9.0×103 km. Find the mass of Mars.
Given 4π2G=6×1011 N-1 m-2 kg2

  • A
    5.96×1019 kg
  • B
    3.25×1021 kg
  • C
    7.02×1025 kg
  • Correct answer
    D
    6.00×1023 kg

Solution

Option D is correct.

T2=4π2GM·r3

M=4π2G·r3 T2

By putting values

M=6×1023

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
