apply keplers Thirs law Aas as T^2 =
4pi^2 R^3/GM
so mass M = 4pi^2R^3/GT^2
here T = 7.16* 24* 60 *60 = 618624 secs
R = 1.07 e9
so Mass = 4*3.14* 3.14* 1.07*1.07 *1.07*10^27/(618624^2 * 6.67e-11)
Mass M = 1.89 *10^27 Kgs

Ganymede is the largest and most massive moon of Jupiter and in the Solar System. It has a radius of 2,634 km and mass of 1.48 × 1023kg. Find g on its surface and the escape speed from it. The mean surface temperature of Ganymede is 110 K. Find the r.m.s. speed of nitrogen molecules at this temperature. Can Ganymede hold a nitrogen atmosphere?
5. A particular satellite with a mass of mis put into orbit around Ganymede (the largest moon of Jupiter) at a distance 300 km from the surface. What is the gravitational force of attraction between the satellite and the moon? (Ganymede has a mass of 1.48x10 kg and a radius of 2631 km.) (4 pts) the satellite's mass is 300 Kilograms b) What is the satellite's centripetal acceleration? (4 pts) c) What is the satellite's period of rotation? (4 pts)
Io and Ganymede are moons of Jupiter. Let the radius of Io’s orbit be one Jupiter unit (JU). The orbital period of Io is 1.5 X 105 s (1.8 days). The period of Ganymede is 6.2 X 105 s (7.2 days). a) Find the orbital radius of Ganymede in JU. b) You are now told that 1 JU = 4.2 X 108 m. Find the mass of Jupiter.
Ganymede's orbit around Jupiter is nearly circular and has a period of 7.155 days. Assume Ganymede is moving in uniform circular motion.

“Europa” is a moon of Jupiter; it orbits the planet with a radius of 670, 900 km, its mass is 4.8 x 1022 kg and its diameter is 1,560 km. Jupiter’s mass is 1.898 x 1027 kg and its radius is 69,911 km. What is the orbital period T of Europa? What is the orbital speed of Europa? What is Europa’s surface gravity? If Jupiter becomes a black hole, what would be the planet’s radius? And what would be the...
