Here's the problem:
Phobos and Deimos 2 satalites of mars, ahve orbits with average radii of 9380km and 23500km respectivly.
The period of Phobos is .319 Earth days. Whats is the period of Demos?
I ahve it set up like this:
Rp=9380
RD=23500
Pp=.319
Pd=?
and i know (Ta\Tb)sq'ed =(Ra\Rb)cubed. Am I right in doing this? How do I choose who is A and who is B?
