Q107 / 180 · NEET 2015 (Phase 1) · Physics
Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of revolution of a planet around the sun is proportional to the third power of the average distance between sun and planet i.e., .
Here is constant. If the masses of sun and planet are and respectively then as per Newton's law of gravitation force of attraction between them is
, here is gravitational constant.
The relation between and is described as:
Here is constant. If the masses of sun and planet are and respectively then as per Newton's law of gravitation force of attraction between them is
, here is gravitational constant.
The relation between and is described as:
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Here gravitational force is equal to centripetal force required for motion of planet.
Hence,
Time period is given by,
We have given,
On comparing,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
