3.73=[6.67E-11 * M] / (3.39E6)^2, solve for M
Solve for M:
3.73 = 5.80399×10^-24 M
3.73 = 5.80399×10^-24 M is equivalent to 5.80399×10^-24 M = 3.73:
5.80399×10^-24 M = 3.73
Multiply both sides of 5.80399×10^-24 M = 3.73 by 1.72295×10^23:
1.72295×10^23×5.80399×10^-24 M = 1.72295×10^23×3.73
1.72295×10^23×5.80399×10^-24 = 1.:
1. M = 1.72295×10^23×3.73
1.72295×10^23×3.73 = 6.42662×10^23:
1. M = 6.42662×10^23
Multiply both sides of 1. M = 6.42662×10^23 by 1.:
1.×1. M = 1.×6.42662×10^23
1.×1. = 1.^2:
1.^2 M = 1.×6.42662×10^23
1.^2 = 1:
1 M = 1.×6.42662×10^23
1.×6.42662×10^23 = 6.42662×10^23:
Answer: |M = 6.42662×10^23 Kg.
