Average distance of the earth from the sun is L₁ . If one year of the earth =D days, one year of another planet whose average distance from the sun is L₂ will be
Options
- AD ( L₂ L₁ )^ 1 / 2 days
- BD ( L₂ L₁ )^ 3 / 2 days
- CD ( L₂ L₁ )^ 2 / 3 days
- DD ( L₂ L₁ ) days
Correct answer
B. D ( L₂ L₁ )^ 3 / 2 days
Step-by-step solution
According to Kepler's third law, T^2 r^3 or T r^ 3 / 2 D^ D = ( L₂ L₁ )^ 3 / 2 or D^ =D ( L₂ L₁ )^ 3 / 2 days
