Suppose the gravitational force varies inversely as the nth power of distance. Then the time period of a planet in circular orbit of radius R around the sun will be proportional to
- \(R^{\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)}\)
- \(R^{\left(\frac{n-1}{2}\right)}\)
- \(\mathrm{R}^{\mathrm{n}}\)
- \(R^{\left(\frac{n-2}{2}\right)}\)
Answer
(A) R^ ( n+1 2 )
