Homework Statement
A satellite is in orbit very close to the surface of a spherical planet. The orbital period is 2.58 hours. What is the density of the planet? Assume the planet has a uniform density.
Homework Equations
T^2=(4pi^2/GM)*r^3
Density=m*v
The Attempt at a Solution
I've posted in several other forums, but no one can seem to help me with this problem. I can't find a way to solve for radius or mass, and i need both of those to ultimately find the density of the planet.
