The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the radii of a body that revolves around the Sun 27 times faster than the Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Variables:** - Let \( T_1 \) be the time period of the Earth. - Let \( R_1 \) be the radius of the Earth's orbit. - Let \( T_2 \) be the time period of the other body. - Let \( R_2 \) be the radius of the other body's orbit. 2. **Relate the Time Periods:** - Since the body revolves 27 times faster than the Earth, its time period \( T_2 \) can be expressed as: \[ T_2 = \frac{T_1}{27} \] 3. **Apply Kepler's Third Law:** - According to Kepler's third law, the square of the time period is directly proportional to the cube of the radius: \[ T^2 \propto R^3 \] - For Earth: \[ T_1^2 \propto R_1^3 \] - For the other body: \[ T_2^2 \propto R_2^3 \] 4. **Set Up the Proportionality:** - From the above relationships, we can write: \[ \frac{T_2^2}{T_1^2} = \frac{R_2^3}{R_1^3} \] 5. **Substitute \( T_2 \):** - Substitute \( T_2 = \frac{T_1}{27} \) into the equation: \[ \left(\frac{T_1}{27}\right)^2 = \frac{R_2^3}{R_1^3} \] - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{T_1^2}{729} = \frac{R_2^3}{R_1^3} \] 6. **Rearrange to Find the Ratio of Radii:** - Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{R_2^3}{R_1^3} = \frac{T_1^2}{729} \] - Taking the cube root of both sides: \[ \frac{R_2}{R_1} = \left(\frac{T_1^2}{729}\right)^{1/3} \] 7. **Simplify the Expression:** - Since \( 729 = 27^2 \), we can rewrite: \[ \frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{T_1^{2/3}}{27} \] - Now, we need to express this in terms of a ratio: \[ R_2 = \frac{R_1}{9} \] 8. **Final Ratio:** - Therefore, the ratio of the radii is: \[ \frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{1}{9} \] ### Conclusion: The ratio of the radii of the body revolving around the Sun to that of the Earth is \( \frac{1}{9} \).
