AI Generated Solution

To derive the relation between the period of revolution \( T \) and the radius \( r \) for a light planet revolving around a heavy star, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Involved The gravitational force of attraction between the star and the planet provides the necessary centripetal force for the planet's circular motion. ### Step 2: Write the Expression for Gravitational Force According to the problem, the gravitational force \( F_g \) is proportional to \( \frac{1}{r^{3/2}} \): \[ ...
