Answer:
The mass of the planet is [tex]3.29\times 10^{23}\ kg[/tex].
Explanation:
Given that,
The gravitational pull on the planet is 620 N
Mass of a satellite is, m₁ = 450 kg
Radius of a planet is [tex]4\times 10^6\ m[/tex]
We need to find the mass of the planet. Gravitational force is given by :
[tex]F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex][tex]m_2[/tex] is the mass of the planet
[tex]m_2=\dfrac{Fr^2}{Gm_1}\\\\m_2=\dfrac{620\times (4\times 10^6)^2}{6.7\times 10^{-11}\times 450}\\\\m_2=3.29\times 10^{23}\ kg[/tex]
So, the mass of the planet is [tex]3.29\times 10^{23}\ kg[/tex].
