How Do You Calculate the Mass of a Planet in Circular Orbit?

How Do You Calculate the Mass of a Planet in Circular Orbit?
Homework Statement A planet orbiting a star experiences a force of magnitude 3x1022N due to gravitational attraction to the star. If the planet has a speed of 2x107 m/s to complete on orbit, calculate the mass of the planet and radius of the orbit? Assume the orbit to be a perfect circle...- DangoTango
