Solve

35. Kepler's third law says that the square of period of revolution (T) of a planet around the sun is proportional to third power of average distance r between the sun and the planet i.e. T2 = Kr3. Here K is constant

If the mass of sun and planet are M and m respectively then as per Newton's law of gravitation force of attraction between them is
F = GMmr2, here G is gravitational constant.The relation between G and K is described as a) GMK = 4π2 b) K = Gc) K = 1G d) GK = 4π2

Solution

Dear Student
T2=kr3 and F=GmMr2 (given)mv2r=GmMr2v=GMr......1>now T2=kr3 2πrv2=kr3 2πrGMr2=kr3 {from eq 1}4πr3GM=kr3GMk=4π
