The distance of a planet from the sun is $5$ times the distance between the earth and the sun. The time period of the planet is

A

${5^{3/2}}$ years

B

${5^{2/3}}$ years

C

${5^{1/3}}$ years

D

${5^{1/2}}$ years

Solution

(a) According to Kepler's law T $\propto \mathrm{R}^{2 / 3}$

$\therefore T_{\text {planet}}=(5)^{3 / 2} T_{\text {earth}}$

$=5^{(3 / 2)} \times 1$ year $=5^{3 / 2}$ years
