8. Centripetal Forces & Gravitation / Period and Frequency in Uniform Circular Motion / Problem 3

An innovative planetary ring system is designed to encircle Mars to create a habitat that simulates Earth-like gravity conditions through its rotation. This system is placed at 2.00×105 km2.00\times 10^5\ km from the center of Mars. Given that Mars has a mass of 6.42×1023 kg6.42\times 10^{23}\ kg, calculate the ring system's rotation period, T, in hours. (Let G=6.67×1011N m2kg2G=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{N\ m^2}{kg^2})
