Detailed Solution

Here  MJ=1.9×1027kg

MS=1.99×1030kg

r=7.8×1011m

G=6.67×1011Nm2kg2

F = ?

Now F=GMJMSr2

=6.67×1011×1.9×1027×1.99×1030(7.8×1011)2

=4.15×1023N

Since the gravitational pull of the sun on Jupiter provides the required centripetal force to Jupiter, therefore the velocity of Jupiter V can be given by the relation,

F=MJV2r

V=FrMJ=4.15×1023×7.8×10111.9×1027

V=1.3×104ms1
