Problem

Titan orbits Saturn once every 15.9 days in a nearly circular path of radius 1.22×106 km1.22\times10^{6}\,\text{km}. Using these data, determine the numerical value of the constant kk (in SI units) that relates T2T^{2} and a3a^{3} for satellites of Saturn. a) 2.6×10−17 s2 m−32.6\times10^{-17}\,\text{s}^{2}\,\text{m}^{-3} b) 1.0×10−12 s2 m−31.0\times10^{-12}\,\text{s}^{2}\,\text{m}^{-3} c) 1.0×10−15 s2 m−31.0\times10^{-15}\,\text{s}^{2}\,\text{m}^{-3} d) 1.8×10−18 s2 m−31.8\times10^{-18}\,\text{s}^{2}\,\text{m}^{-3}
