Planet X rotates in the same manner as the earth, around an axis through its north and south poles, and is perfectly spherical. An astronaut who weighs 943.0 NN on the earth weighs 920.0 NN at the north pole of Planet X and only 860.0 NN at its equator. The distance from the north pole to the equator is 18,850 kmkm, measured along the surface of Planet X.
How long is the day on Planet X?
Express your answer in hours.
If a 45,000 kgkg satellite is placed in a circular orbit 3000 kmkm above the surface of Planet X, what will be its orbital period?
Express your answer in seconds.
