A planet \((P_1)\) is moving around the star of mass \(2M\) in the orbit of radius \(R\). Another planet \((P_2)\) is moving around another star of mass \(4M\) in a orbit of radius \(2R\). Ratio of time periods of revolution of \(P_2\) and \(P_1\) is _______.
- A \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
- B \(2\)
- C \(4\)
- D \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Using Kepler's third law, the time period of revolution of a planet is given by \(T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{GM_s}}\). For planet \(P_1\), the orbital radius is \(r = R\) and the mass of the star is \(M_s = 2M\): \(T_1 = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{R^3}{G(2M)}}\) For planet \(P_2\), the…
