Density of an Exoplanet


One satellite of a planet has an orbital period of 7 days, 3 hours, 43 minutes, and the semi major axis is 15.3 times the mean radius of the planet. The Moon has an orbital period of 27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes and the semi major axis is 60.3 times the Earth's mean radius. Assume that the mass of the moon and the satellite is negligible compared to the mass of the planet. Calculate the ratio of the planet’s mean density to that of the Earth.
