problem 16: (5% of assignment value)
the planet saturn has a mass of 5.7×10²⁶ kg and a radius of 58,000 km.

• part (a) ✓

calculate the volume v of saturn in m³.
v = 8.17·10²³
v = 8.170×10²³ m³ answer saved successfully!

• part (b) ✓

Explanation:

Step1: Compare densities

Compare Saturn's density \(
ho_{Saturn}=700.0\ \text{kg/m}^3 \) with water's density \(
ho_{water} = 1\times10^{3}\ \text{kg/m}^3=1000\ \text{kg/m}^3 \).
Since \(700.0<1000\).

Answer:

Less dense
