Estimate acceleration of gravity at surface of the planet


Solve the below problem:

Q: Show that the radius r of the orbit of a moon of a given planet can be determined from the radius R of the planet, the acceleration of gravity at the surface of the planet, and the time t required by the moon to complete one full revolution about the planet. Determine the acceleration of gravity at the surface of the planet Jupiter knowing that 44,400 R = mi, t = 3.551 days and r = 417,000 mi for its moon Europa.
