If a planet existed with orbital radius 4 times that of earth, how many years would it take to go around the sun once?

as we know the expresssion for orbital velocity as,

v0= GMR+hwhere v0= orbital velocity  R= radius of sunM=mass of sunR+h= orbital radiusG= gravitational constant

R+h= R0 (Let)

now the above equation can be writtenn as in terms of circumference and time i.e., v0= circumference made by earth / time taken by it.

so, 2π(R+h)t=GMR+has we already as let (R+h)=R0so 2πR0t=GMR0t=2πR0GMR0now when orbital radius is 4 times of orbital radius made by earthi.e., R'0 = 4R0let t' be the time made by unknown planetso t'= 2πR'0GMR'0implies that  t'= 2π4R0GM4R0now tt'=2πR0GMR02π4R0GM4R0on solving the above expression we gett'= 8thence the required time is t'= 8 X 1 years = 8 years
