The Sun rotates around its centre once in 27 days. What will be the period of revolution if the Sun were to expand to twice its present radius without any external influence? Assume the Sun to be a sphere of uniform density.

  1. A 100 days
  2. B 105 days
  3. C 115 days
  4. D 108 days
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 108 days

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Angular Momentum conservation
\(I _1 \omega_1= I _2 \omega_2\)\(M=\text { same } \)
\(\omega_2=\frac{\omega_1}{4}\)\( R_2=2 r_1 \)
\(T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\)\( I \propto r^2 \)
\( I_2=4 I_1 \)
\( T_1=27 \text { day}\)

\(T _2=4 T_1=4 \times 27\)
\(T_2=108 \text { days}\)
