Transcribed Image Text:Universal gravity and Kepler's II Law
Assume that
have discovered a
you
hew stellar system composed by a
star with mass Ms and two planets
moving on nearly circular orbits. All
the information
you
can obtain from your
astronomical observation are the radii
of the two planetary orbits, r, and
12, and the period of revolution
of the inner planet, T₁. Find:
1) The mass of the star, Ms
2) The period of revolution of
the outer planet, T
