Question:

The orbital period of revolution of a planet round the sun is T0. Suppose we make a model of Solar system scaled down in the ratio η but of materials of the same mean density as the actual material of planet and the sun has. The new orbital period is.

Options:

$\eta T_0$

$\eta^2 T_0$

$\eta^3 T_0$

$T_0$

Correct Answer:

$T_0$

Explanation:

$T^2=4 \pi^2\left(\frac{r^3}{GM}\right)$
