A star with mass m = 2.624 x 1030 kg revolves around the center of mass of the Milky Way galaxy in an orbit that is approximately circular, of radius a z 3.7 × 107 km and velocity v z 400 km/s. Estimate the mass M of the portion of the Milky Way inside the star's orbit (place all of this mass at the center of the orbit). Assume G = 6.673 × 10-11 m³ kg-l s-2. (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.) M = 1052.632 x10'' times the mass of the star Incorrect

13.6 Question 4: Please show all work and box the answer(s):

A star with mass m = 2.624 x 1030 kg revolves around the center of mass of the Milky Way galaxy in an orbit that is
approximately circular, of radius a z 3.7 × 107 km and velocity v z 400 km/s.
Estimate the mass M of the portion of the Milky Way inside the star's orbit (place all of this mass at the center of the
orbit).
Assume G = 6.673 × 10-11 m³ kg-l s-2.
(Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.)
M =
1052.632
x10'' times the mass of the star
