Question: 1)Using the Doppler Wobble plot for 51 Pegasi above: What is the semiamplitude of the radial velocity K from the graph? K = ------------------ m/s

1)Using the Doppler Wobble plot for 51 Pegasi above: What is the semiamplitude of the radial velocity K from the graph?
K = ------------------ m/s
2)What is the mass pf the planet (times the sine of the inclination of its orbit), mp sin i, in units of kg? (Note : you will need to use the answers to the previous two questions along with the relationship given next to the Doppler Wobble plot above.)
mp sin i = ------------------ kg
3)What is the mass of the planet, mp sin i, in units of Jupiter masses, MJ ?
mp sin i = -------------------------MJ
