Given:

. . .a<sub>Charon</sub> = 19,640 km

. . .P<sub>Charon</sub> = 6.387217

. . .K = 1.325 × 10<sup>-14</sup> M day<sup>2</sup>/km<sup>3</sup>

(Note: To the right of the M is a little circle with a plus sign in it.)

Calculate the mass of Pluto, which Charon orbits around, using the formula:

. . .M = Ka<sup>3</sup> / P<sup>2</sup>

Does anyone have a clue how to do this problem?

Please post PROPERLY...else no one can help.

If you're having "to the power" problems:
a to the power 3 = a^3
