Kepler's third law states that square of period of revolution $(T)$ of a planet around the sun, is proportional to third power of average distance $r$ between sun and planet i.e.

$\therefore \;{T^2} = k{r^3}$

here $K$ is constant.

If the masses of sun and planet are $M$ and $m$ respectively then as per Newton's law of gravitation force of attraction between them is $F = \frac{{GMm}}{{{r^2}}}$ , here $G$ gravitational constant . The relation between $G$ and $K$ is described as

In planetary motion the areal velocity of position vector of a planet depends on angular velocity $(\omega )$ and the distance of the planet from sun $(r)$. If so the correct relation for areal velocity is

Remote sensing satellites move in an orbit that is at an average height of about $500 \,km$ from the surface of the earth. The camera onboard one such satellite has a screen of area $A$ on which the images captured by it are formed. If the focal length of the camera lens is $50 \,cm$, then the terrestrial area that can be observed from the satellite is close to ............... $A$
