A uniform distribution of dust in the solar system adds to the gravitational attraction of the Sun on a planet an additional forceF = −m C rwhere m is the mass of the planet, C is a constant proportional to the gravitational constant and the density of the dust, and r is the radius vector from the Sun to the planet (both considered as points). This additional force is very small compared to the direct Sun-planet gravitational force.Calculate the period for a circular orbit of radius r0 of the planet in thiscombined field.
