(II) Table 5–3 gives the mean distance, period, and massfor the four largest moons of Jupiter (those discovered byGalileo in 1609). Determine the mass of Jupiter: (a) usingthe data for Io; (b) using data for each of the other threemoons. Are the results consistent?
Apply: Suppose an elephant has a mass of 1,800 kg and a person has a mass of 75 kg. If the strength of
gravitational force on the person was 735 N, what would be the gravitational force on the elephant?
Assume both the person and elephant are on Earth's surface.)
I Since force and mass are proportional, set this up as a proportion/ratio.
(mass of elephant)
(mass of human)
(force on elephant)
(force on human)
