Kepler's third law states that square of period of revolution (T) of a planet around the sun, is proportional to third power of average distance r between sun and plane i.e. T 2 = Kr 3 here K is constant If the masses of sun and planet are M and m respectively then as per Newton's law of gravitation force of attraction between them is F = 
, here G is gravitational constant The relation between G and K is described as:
A
GMK = 4 π 2
B
K = G
C
K = 
D
GK = 4 π 2
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
T 2 = 
so, K =
