The planet Mars has two moons. Phobos and Delmos (i) phobos has period `7` hours, `39` minutes and an orbital radius of `9.4 xx 10^(3) km`. Calculate the mass of Mars. (ii) Assume that Earth and mars move in a circular orbit around the sun, with the martian orbit being `1.52` times the orbital radius of the Earth. What is the length of the martian year in days? `(G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) Nm^(2) kg^(-2))`
