Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the given problem, we will:
-
Convert the semi-major axis () and period () for each moon into the appropriate units:
- to Astronomical Units (AU),
- to years.
-
Use Kepler's Third Law, modified by Newton: where is the mass of Jupiter in Solar Mass units ().
-
Calculate the values of , , and for each moon.
-
Compute the mean value of , convert it into kilograms using , and compare it to the accepted value of .
