Question
Imagine a light planet revolving around a very massivr star in a circular orbit of radius R with a period of revolution T. If the gravitational force of attraction between the planet and the star is proportional to R-5/2, then
Options
A.T2 is proportional to R2
B.T2 is proportional to R7/2
C.T2 is proportional to R3/2
D.T2 is proportional to R3.75
Solution
∝ R-5/2 ∴ v ∝ R-3/4Now, T =
or T2 ∝
or T2 ∝
T2 ∝ R7/2
