Estimate the mass of the star

Reference no: EM13717561

Compute all parts of given problem:

Problem: You are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system. Prior to landing on a planet you measure its diameter to be 1.8 × 10⁷ m and its rotation period to be 22.3 hours. You have previously determined that the planet orbits 2.2 × 10¹¹ m from its star with a period of 402 earth days. Once on the surface you find that the free-fall acceleration is 12.2m/s².

Part A: What is the mass of the Planet?

Part B: What is the mass of the star?

I need help to calculate the mass of the Planet and star.
