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

  • [AIPMT 2015]
  • A

    $GK=4$${\pi ^2}$

  • B

    $GMK=4$${\pi ^2}$

  • C

    $K=G$

  • D

    $K=$$\frac{1}{G}$
