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
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(T\, \propto \,r\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(F = \frac{{2GM}}{{Lr}}m\,\,or,\,\,\frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} = \frac{{2GM}}{{Lr}}m\)
\(mr{\left( {\frac{{2\pi }}{T}} \right)^2} = \frac{{2GMm}}{{Lr}}\left[ {v = r\omega \,and\,\omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T}} \right]\)
\( \Rightarrow \,\,T \propto r\)
