Applying the principle of homogeneity of dimensions, determine which one is correct, where TT is time period, GG is gravitational constant, MM is mass, rr is radius of orbit.

Options

  1. AT2=4π2r2GMT^2=\frac{4 \pi^2 r^2}{G M}
  2. BT2=4π2rGM2T^2=\frac{4 \pi^2 r}{G M^2}
  3. CT2=4π2r3GMT^2=\frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{G M}
  4. DT2=4π2r3T^2=4 \pi^2 r^3

Correct answer

C. T2=4π2r3GMT^2=\frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{G M}

Step-by-step solution

According to principle of homogeneity dimension of LHS should be equal to dimensions of RHS so option (3) is correct. T2=4π2r3GM[T2]=[L3][M−1 L3 T−2][M]\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{T}^2=\frac{4 \pi^2 \mathrm{r}^3}{\mathrm{GM}} \\ & {\left[\mathrm{T}^2\right]=\frac{\left[\mathrm{L}^3\right]}{\left[\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^3 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right][\mathrm{M}]}} \end{aligned} (Dimension of G\mathrm{G} is \left[\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^3 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]))\left[\mathrm{T}^2\right]=\frac{\left[\mathrm{L}^3\right]}{\left[\mathrm{L}^3 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]}=\left[\mathrm{T}^2\right]
