Answer:
Given
Orbital period (T) =1.769 days
=1.769 × 24 × 3600
= 1.528 × 10^5 s
Radius of orbit (r) = 4.22×10^8m
Mass of the sun (Ms) =2×10^30kg
Let mass of Jupiter's satellite is m. and mass of Jupiter is Mj Centripetal force=Gravitational force
mv²/r= GMjm/r²
v²= GMj/r
we know,
v=wr and w =2π/The
so, v= 2πr/T [use this here,
Mj=4×(3.14)²×(4.22×10^8)³/(1.528×10^5)²×6.67×10^-11
=1.9×10^27kg≈ 2×10^27 kg
Mj/Ms=2×10^27/2×10^30=1/1000
Mj =Ms/1000
Hence, the mass of Jupiter is about one thousandth that sun.
