The mean distance of Jupiter from the sun is nearly `5.2` times the corresponding distance between earth and sun. Using Kepler's Law, find the period of revolution of Jupiter in its orbit.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the period of revolution of Jupiter in its orbit using Kepler's Law, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Mean Distance Let the mean distance of Earth from the Sun be denoted as \( r \). According to the problem, the mean distance of Jupiter from the Sun is \( 5.2 \) times that of Earth. Therefore, we can express the radius of Jupiter's orbit as: \[ R_J = 5.2r \] ...
