Imagine two planets orbiting a star with orbits edge-on to the Earth. The peak Doppler shift for each 55 m/s
 , but one has a period of 7 days and the other has a period of 700 days. The star has a mass of one solar mass.
Assume 1 solar mass equals 2∗1030
 kg. Calculate the mass of the shorter period planet. (Hint: See Mathematical Insight Finding Masses of Extrasolar Planets)
Express your answer using two significant figures.
