A planet of mass `m` is the elliptical orbit about the sun `(mlt ltM_("sun"))` with an orbital period `T`. If `A` be the area of orbit, then its angular momentum would be:

A

`(2mA)/(T)`

B

`mAT`

C

`(mA)/(2T)`

D

`2mAT`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`vec(L) =2m (d vec(A))/(dt) rArr L=(2mA)/(T)`
