Question:medium

Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of revolution (T) of a planet around the sun is proportional to the third power of average distance r between sun and planet i.e. T² = Kr³, where K is a constant. If the masses of sun and planet are M and m respectively and as per Newton's law of gravitation the force of attraction between them is F=(GMm)/(r²), where G is the gravitational constant. The relation between G and K is described as:

Show Hint

Kepler’s third law is a direct consequence of Newton’s law of gravitation.
