To Complete: The problem which can be solved using Kepler’s third law.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: As per Kepler’s third law of planetary motion:
T is the time period
R is the mean distance from sun.
The complete problem can be
Suppose a new planet was found orbiting the Sun in the region between Jupiter & Saturn.
Orbital period of Jupiter is 11.8 years and its mean distance from sun is 5.2 AU, find the orbital period of discovered planet if its mean distance from sun is 7.1 AU.
