Calculate Jupiter's Mass (In Earth Masses) Based on Its Gravitational

question 25

Essay

Calculate Jupiter's mass (in Earth masses) based on its gravitational pull on its moon, Io, using Newton's version of Kepler's third law: P² = A³/M_J. In order to do so, you will need the following information: Io's period =1.769 days; Io's semimajor axis = 422,000 km; the mass of the Sun = 2* 10³⁰ kg; the mass of Earth = 6 * 10²⁴ kg (also, 1 AU = 1.5* 10⁸ km).
