Look up the mass M of the moon and the gravitational constant G, and then just plug them into your formula
T = 2π√(r^3/(GM))
Note that r is the radius of the orbit, not its altitude above the surface.
The command module orbited at an altitude of 110 km above the lunar surface. How much time did it take for the command module to complete one orbit?

How do I find the radius of the orbit?
come on, come on.
It's the radius of the moon + 110 km
It's the radius of the moon + 110 km
I am not good at physics, hence why I came here for help and not to be put down. Thanks.
sorry. you don't have to know any physics to figure that out, if you just draw a diagram of the satellite going around the moon. I don't mind helping, but I do kind of expect you to put in some effort as well.
