00:01 Okay, so we are discussing kepler's third law, and we need to find the mass of jupiter, and we're given the semi -major axis in an orbital period.
00:19 So recall that kepler's third law is t squared is equal to 4 pi squared over gm times a cubed.
00:28 So if we're solving for the mass, it's 4 pi squared.
00:33 Squared over g times a cubed over t squared.
00:37 So this is equal to 4 pi squared over 6 .67 times 10 to the negative 11...
