Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Motion in Two and Three Dimensions: Problem 115

Circling the Galaxy. The Solar System is moving along an approximately circular path of radius \(2.5 \times 10^4 \text{ ly}\) (light-years) around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy with a speed of \(205 \text{ km/s}\). (a) How far has a person traveled along that path by the time of the person’s 20th birthday? (b) What is the period of the circling?
