Question
Numerical problems:
The Earth’s distance from the Sun is 149.6 × 106km and the period of Earth’s revolution is 1 year. Calculate the ratio of the squares of the periods to cubes of the major axis.
Short Note
Solution
Semi major axis from sun, R = 149.6 × 106 km.
Period of Earth, T = 1 year.
The ratio = `"T2"/"R3"`=`(1)^2/(149.6×10^6)^3` = 2.98 ×10-25 year2 / km 3.
