- Procedure Table 11.1 presents Djup and Pday for the major Jovian satellites. First use these data and the equation above to calculate Jupiter’s mass in kilograms (kg). Enter your results in the table for each satellite. Next calculate the average Jupiter mass (Mjup, av) and enter the result in the table. Finally, calculate the percent difference (PD) using Mjup, av and the standard value for Jupiter’s mass (1.9 X 1027 kg). In the calculation of PD you can ignore 1027 because it will appear in both numerator and denominator. ________________________________________________________ Table 11.1 Calculated values for Jupiter’s Mass Satellite Djup Pday Mjup Io 2.95 1.77 Europa 4.69 3.55 Ganymede 7.50 7.15 Callisto 13.15 16.7 __________________________________________________________ Average Jupiter Mass = Percent Difference =arrow_forwardPROBLEM SOLVING: Express your answer to the fourth decimal places.
