How many hours does it take Mercury to complete a full rotation? Show yourwork using the correct conversion factors.

Answer 1

We proceed as follows:

`38d\cdot(24h)/(1d)+10h+30m\cdot(1h)/(60m)=912h+10h+0.5h=922.5h`

From this, we have that it takes Mercury 922.5 hours to complete a full rotation.
