Question

The table to below gives the orbital periods T (in years) of the planets known to Newton as a
function of their mean distance R from the sun in AUs (where 1 AU = the earth’s mean orbital
radius). Plot plot a log-log graph of the period versus the distance on the graph paper provided
as Figure 5.6 on the next page.
