When a star dies, much of its mass may collapse into a single point known as a black hole. The gravitational force of a black hole on surrounding astronomical objects can be very great. Astronomers estimate the strength of this force by observing the orbits of such objects around a black hole. What is the gravitational force exerted by a black hole on a 1-solar-mass star whose orbit has a 2.1 ✕ 1010 m radius and a period of 8.3 days? (Enter the magnitude.)

(25 points) A star known as S2 is in orbit around a massive, dark object thought to be a black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Based on the spectral type of the star, S2's mass is about 15Mo. The period of the orbit is about 15 years, the eccentricity of the orbit is about 0.9, and the semimajor axis of the orbit is about 1000 AU. Remember that IAU = 1.5 × 1013 cm. In solar...
