Chapter 22, Problem 7P
Calculate the radius of Jupiter’s Roche limit for a satellite with density equal to the planet. Which of Jupiter’s moons is closest to the Roche limit? What might that tell you about the relationship between that moon and Jupiter’s ring? (Note: Necessary data are given in Celestial Profile: Jupiter and Appendix Table A-11.)
