AI Generated Solution

To deduce the law of gravitation from Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Motion of a Planet Assume a planet of mass \( m \) is revolving around the Sun (mass \( M \)) in a circular orbit of radius \( r \) with a velocity \( v \). The time period of revolution is \( T \). ### Step 2: Centripetal Force The centripetal force required to keep the planet in circular motion is given by: \[ ...
