8. Centripetal Forces & Gravitation
Period and Frequency in Uniform Circular Motion
An innovative planetary ring system is designed to encircle Mars to create a habitat that simulates Earth-like gravity conditions through its rotation. This system is placed at 2.00×105 km from the center of Mars. Given that Mars has a mass of 6.42×1023 kg, calculate the ring system's rotation period, T, in hours. (Let G=6.67×10−11kg2N m2)
