Suppose the gravitational force varies inversely as the nth power of distance. Then the time period planet in circular orbit of radius R\mathrm{R} around the sun will be proportional to

Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) R(n+12)R^{\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)}

T∝R(n+1)/2\mathrm{T} \propto \mathrm{R}^{(\mathrm{n}+1) / 2}
