Determine the period of the spacecrafts orbit

Reference no: EM13275847

A spacecraft is in orbit around a planet. The radius of the orbit is 3.2 times the radius of the planet (which is R = 71454 km). The gravitational field at the surface of the planet is 24 N/kg. What is the period of the spacecraft's orbit? [Hint: You don't need any more data about the planet to solve the problem.]
