Chapter 13, Problem 13.27P
A synchronous satellite, which always remains above the same point on a planet’s equator, is put in orbit around Jupiter to study that planet’s famous red spot. Jupiter rotates once every 9.84 h. Use the data of Table 13.2 to find the altitude of the satellite above the surface of the planet.

On December 25, 2004, the Huygens probe separated from the Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn and began a 22 day journey to Saturn’s moon Titan, on whose surface it landed. Besides the data in Appendix F, it is useful to know that Titan is 1.22 * 10^6 km from the center of Saturn and has a mass of 1.35 * 10^23 kg and a diameter of 5150 km. At what distance from Titan should the gravitational pull of Titan the gravitational pull of Saturn?
In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?
Jupiter has a mass approximately 300 times greater than Earth's and a radius about 11 times greater. How will the gravitational acceleration at the surface of Jupiter compare to that at the surface of the Earth?
