So it's d+1.22*10^6 instead of d?

Oh wait, is it d+radius of the moon?

G*M/r^2= G*m/(d)^2 where M is the mass of the moon, r is the radius of the moon, m is the mass of Saturn and d is the distance between them? So, G's cancel (1.35*10^23)/(2575000)^2= (5.68*10^26)/(d)^2 d^2= (5.68*10^26)*(2575000)^2 /(1.35*10^23) d= sqrt(2.78977*10^16) d=167026167.8

G*(1.35*10^23)/(2575000)^2=G*(mass of saturn)/(d)^2 ?? I'm not sure what to do with the distance from saturn to the moon or if it is multiplied by the mass of saturn. I'm really confused

Homework Statement On December 25, 2004, the Huygens probe separated from the Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn and began a 22 day journey to Saturn's giant moon Titan (see the figure below (Figure 1) ), on whose surface it landed. It is useful to know that Titan is 1.22×106 km from the...
