A planet of radius R has a time period of revolution T. Find time period of a planet of radius 9 R ?
Options
- A3 3 T
- B9 T
- C27 T
- D9 3 T
Correct answer
C. 27 T
Step-by-step solution
By Kepler's third law of planetory motion, Given, aligned T₁ T₂ & = ( a₁ a₂ )^ 3 / 2 T₁ & =T, a₁=R, T₂=?, a₂=9 R T T₂ & = ( R 9 R )^ 3 / 2 , T T₂ = [ ( 1 3 )^2 ]^ 3 / 2 T T₂ & = 1 27 T₂=27 ~T aligned
