Yоu аre the science оfficer оn а visit to а distant solar system. Prior to landing on a planet you measure its diameter to be 1.8×107 m. You have previously determined that the planet orbits 7.6×1011 m from its star with a period of 402 earth days. Once on the surface you find that the acceleration due to gravity is 46.5 ms2. What are the masses of (a) the planet and (b) the star?
