The mass of Uranus is 8.68 x 1025 kg. That’s 14.536times more than the mass of Earth.

What is the difference between the forces due to Uranus on a 1.0kg mass located at the near side of Titania and at the far side ofTitania? Titania has a mean radius of 789 km and a mean orbitalradius about Uranus of 436,300 km. (Enter the magnitude innewtons.)

Compare this difference to the difference for Earth due to theMoon, 0.22 ✕ 10−5 N. (Tidal forces are the cause ofvolcanic activity on some moons.)

Calculate the mass (in kg) of the Sun based on data for Uranus'sorbit. (Use G = 6.67 ✕ 10−11 N ·m2/kg2 in your calculations. Round youranswer to at least four significant figures.)

Compare the above calculated value with the Sun's actual mass.(Round your answer to at least three decimal places.)
