A planet is observed to have a satellite that orbits the planetonce in every 104 hours. The distance to the planet from Earth is R= 3.4 x 108 km. The maximum angle that thesatellite makes with the planet is θ = 0.064 degrees.From this data, calculate the mass of the planet. Write your answerin terms of 1021 kg. (i.e. if the answer is A x1023, write it as B x 1021, then enter B asyour answer).
