Determine the distance of jupiter from the sun

Reference no: EM13517322

In this problem you will determine the distance to Jupiter by applying F=ma for circular orbits. By observing Jupiter we can determine that it takes 11.895 years to orbit the Sun. Derive an expression that relates the time period of the orbit of Jupiter to the distance from the sun. From this expression determine the distance of Jupiter from the Sun. (Sun's mass 1.991 x 10^30 kg, G=6.67x10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2)
