A 60.0 kg space explorer just discovered a perfectly spherical planet. She found out that her apparent weight is 97% at the equator of a planet compared to that at the pole, which is 360N. If the rotational period of the planet is 14.0 h, what is the radius of the planet?
The centripetal force is 3% of the weight of space explorer. Hence
The radius of a planet
