What will be the period of near as it orbits eros

Reference no: EM13534872

The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR), after traveling 2.1 billion km , is meant to orbit the asteroid Eros at a height of about 15km . Eros is roughly 40km* 6 km*6 km. Assume Eros has a density (mass/volume) of about 2.3*10^3 kg/m3.

a. What will be the period of NEAR as it orbits Eros?

b. If Eros were a sphere with the same mass and density, what would its radius be?

c. What would be at the surface of this spherical Eros?
