Find the mass of saturn in solar masses from the semimajor


Find the mass of Saturn in solar masses from the semimajor axis and period of the orbit of its moon Enceladus: a = 2.38 x 105 km and P = 1.37 days, with 1.5 x 108 km = 1 AU and 365 days = 1 yrs. 

a) Convert a and P into units of AU and yrs, respectively.

b) Use a3/P2 = MSat to calculate Saturn's mass in units of solar masses.
