Determine what is the orbital period of the faster planet

Reference no: EM13538429

Two newly discovered planets follow circular orbits around a star in a distant part of the galaxy. The orbital speeds of the planets are determined to be 43.3 km/s and 58.6 km/s. The slower planet's orbital period is 7.60 years.

(a) What is the mass of the star?

(b) What is the orbital period of the faster planet, in years?
