1.	The mean distance of mass from the sun is 1.524 times that of earth from the sun. Find the number of years required for mass to make one revolution about the sun.
Answer» SOLUTION :GIVEN that `R_(m) = 1.524 R_(e) and T_(e)=1` year According to Kepler.s third law , we can write `T^(2) prop R^3` `implies ((T_s)/(T_e))^(2) = ((R_s)/(R_e))^3 implies T_s=Te((R_S)/(R_e))^(3//2)` `implies T_(s)=(1) ((1.524R_e)/R_e)^(3//2) implies T_(s) = (1) (1.524)^(3//2) = 1.88` YEARS
