Homework Statement
Distance of Earth from Sun = 1.50 x 10^11m
Period = 365.2 days
Distance of Mars from Sun = 2.28 x 10^11km
Period of Mars in Earth Years?
Homework Equations
(Ta/Tb)^2 = (Ra/Rb)^3
The Attempt at a Solution
(365.2 days/Tm)^2 =(1.50 x 10^11m/2.28x10^14m)^3
=(365.2/Tm)^2 = 2.85 x 10^74
Tm^2= (365.2)^2 (2.85 x 10^74)
= square root of 3.04 x 10^79
Tm = 5.5 x 10^39
