Concept explainers
To discuss: Information needed to obtain the mass of Jupiter using Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Newton’s law of gravitation:
Where,
Kepler’s third law:
It states that,
Where,
As the centrifugal force is given by,
Where,
So, on combining these equations, Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law is obtained.
To find mass of Jupiter using Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law following information is needed.
Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law is
Since
So, Period
