Saturn's mass is M= 5.69 x 1026 kg and its radius R=60,300 km. If a moon orbits Saturn at a distance equal to 5 times its planetary radius, what is its period of orbit? (Hint, use Newton's version of Kepler's 3rd law, and you can neglect the mass of the moon) Express your answer in days to three significant figures.
