Ganymede is a large moon of Jupiter. You see it here in the foreground of this image. I've given you two of the orbital parameters that you will need for this problem below. Be sure to convert your distance and velocity to meters and meters/second, respectively. Then, using the value for G given in the notes, calculate the Mass of Jupiter using the same methodology as I did for the Sun. Show all your work and calculations, and submit to the dropbox. Mean Distance from Jupiter (km) Mean orbital velocity (km/s) 1,070,000 10.88 Ganymede is a large moon of Jupiter. You see it here in the foreground of this image.
