A very long (length \(L\) ) cylindrical galaxy is made of uniformly distributed mass and has radius \(R(R < < L).\) A star outside the galaxy is orbiting the galaxy in a plane perpendicular to the galaxy and passing through its centre. If the time period of star is \(T\) and its distance from the galaxy's axis is \(r,\) then
- A \(T\, \propto \,r\)
- B \(T\, \propto \,\sqrt r\)
- C \(T\, \propto \,r^2\)
- D \(T^2\, \propto \,r^3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(T\, \propto \,r\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(F = \frac{{2GM}}{{Lr}}m\,\,or,\,\,\frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} = \frac{{2GM}}{{Lr}}m\) \(mr{\left( {\frac{{2\pi }}{T}} \right)^2} = \frac{{2GMm}}{{Lr}}\left[ {v = r\omega \,and\,\omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T}} \right]\) \( \Rightarrow \,\,T \propto r\)
