In 1984, the spacecraft Voyager 2 discovered that that the planet Neptune had five
weak, but distinct rings around it. The rings consist of particles of rock and ice which
orbit the planet. The mass of Neptune is mNep = 1.02 × 104º kg. Suppose a
particle has a mass (1.98x10^2) kg, and is orbiting at a distance of (4.499x10^4) km
from the surface of Neptune. The radius of Neptune is
1
r Nep = 24760 km and G = 6.67 × 10-1lm². kg
