_Initial Masses_  Mass was allocated between the Sun, the disk particles, and Neptune such that the total mass of the system summed to 1. Though it actually constitutes over 99% of the total mass of the solar system, the mass of the sun was ar  btrarily set to a value of 0.9. The mass of Neptune was set to a value of $4.5\times 10^-5$, 10^-5$\textsuperscript{,t}  so that the ratio of the mass of Neptune to the mass of the Sun was a realistic value (0.005\%). The disk particles, with a combined mass of 0.099955, constituted the remainder of the total mass of the system, which was equally distributed among them (mass of an individual disk particle = 0.099955,/30,000 = 3.33  _Initial Velocities_  Though the combined mass of disk particles and that of Neptune constituted a significant portion of the total mass of the system, this was dominated by the mass of the Sun. Therefore, as it initially lies at the center of the system, the enclosed mass was
