State and prove Kepler's second law (Law of Areas) of planetary motion.

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 planet. That means 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 = (GMm)/r^2 , here G is gravitational constant the relation between G and K is described as

Kepler's third law states that square of period revolution (T) of a planet around the sun is proportional to third power of average distance i between sun and planet i.e. T^(2)=Kr^(3) here K is constant if the mass of sun and planet are M and m respectively then as per Newton's law of gravitational the force of alteaction between them is F=(GMm)/(r^(2)) , here G is gravitational constant. The relation between G and K is described as

An artificial satellite is revolving around a planet of mass M and radius R in a circular orbit of radius r. From Kepler's third law about the period of a satellite around a common central body, square of the period of revolution T is proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit r. Show using dimensional analysis that T=(k)/(R) sqrt((r^(3))/(g)) where k is dimensionless RV g constant and g is acceleration due to gravity.
