Assertion : For circular orbits, the law of periods is `T^(2) prop r^(3)`, where M is the mass of sun and r is the radius of orbit.
Reason : The square of the period T of any planet about the sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis a of the orbit.

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.

if the gravitational force were to vary inversely as m^(th) power of the distance then the time period of a planet in circular orbit of radius r around the sun will be proportional to

The largest and the shortest distance of the earth from the sun are r_(1) and r_(2) , its distance from the sun when it is at the perpendicular to the major axis of the orbit drawn from the sun

(a) Find the moment of inertia of a sphere about a tangent to the sphere, given the moment of inertia of the sphere about any of its diameters to be 2MR^(2)//5 , where M is the mass of the sphere and R is the radius of the sphere. (b) Given the moment of inertia of a disc of mass M and radius R about any of its diameters to be MR^(2)//4 , find its moment of inertia about an axis normal to the disc and passing through a point on its edge.
