After applying Newton's Laws of Motion and Newton's Law of Gravity we find that Kepler's Third Law takes a more general form: where M 1 and M 2 are the masses of the two orbiting objects in solar masses. Note that if the mass of one body, such as M 1, is much larger than the other, then M 1 +M 2 is nearly equal to M 1. In our solar system M 1 =1 solar mass, and this equation becomes identical to the first. Example: Phobos orbits Mars with an average distance of about 9380 km from the center of the planet and a rotational period of about 7hr 39 min. Use this information to estimate the mass of Mars.
g = GM/R2, Where M is the mass of the planet and R is its radius. slide 2 of 4. A Tour Of The Planets The surface gravity of the planets, as determined by the equation above and shown relative to Earth's gravity can be seen below in the first column. Mercury:..........0.378..........
