The Virgo Cluster is observed to have a recession velocity of 1200 km/s. Part A: Assuming that Ho = 70 km/s/Mpc and assuming a critical-density universe, calculate the total mass contained within a sphere centered on Virgo and just enclosing the Milky Way Galaxy. Express your answer using two significant figures. Part B: What is the escape speed from the surface of this sphere? Express your answer using two significant figures.
