a) Jupiter's satellite orbits the planet on a nearly circularpath with a radius of 420,000 km and completes its orbit every1.769 days. Use Newton's universal law of gravitation to find themass of Jupiter.  

b) Knowing Jupiter's mass, and that it orbits the Sun on theaverage (it has an elliptical orbit with an eccentricity of 0.05)at 7.8×108 km from the Sun in 11.86 years, what is itsangular momentum?

c) Compare Jupiter's orbital angular momentum to the angularmomentum of the rotating Sun, which is a spinning sphere of radius695,700 km and mass 1.99×1030 kg that completes a turnin 25 days
