What will be the peroid of near as it orbits eros

Reference no: EM13560098

NASA launched the Near Earth Asteroid Rendevous (NEAR), which,after traveling 1.3 billion miles, is meant to orbit the asteroidEros at a height of about 15 km. Eros is potato-shaped: 40 km 6 km 6 km.(Approximate by a cylinder 40 km long.) Assume Eros has a density(mass/volume) of about 2.3 103kg/m3.

(a) What will be the peroid of NEAR as it orbits Eros?

(b) Suppose Eros to be a sphere with the same and mass density.What would its radius be?
