Io and Europa are two of Jupiter's moons. Io orbits Jupiter at a distance of 421,000 km in a time of 1.769 days. Europa orbits Jupiter at a distance of 671,000 km in a time of 3.551 days. Compute an average mass for Jupiter.
Homework Equations
a=v^2/r
F=Fgravity=GMplanetMmoon/r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I found the accelerations of the two moons however I have no idea how to use that to find Jupiters mass
