...some relation existed between them. After many attempts continued for 17 years, he at last discovered that the squares of the periodic times of the planets are proportional to the cubes of the greater axis of their orbits. CHAP. IV. Of the Orbit j of the Comets. OF all the celestial bodies,... | |

...the orbits of the planets and comets are conic sections, having the sun in one of their foci. iii. That the squares of the periodic times of the planets are proportional to the cubes of their mean distances from the sun. 310. It has been shown, that if the law of the force which acts on a moving... | |

...indefinitely small time dt, is J cdt ; hence the law of Kepler gives whence (85) But, by Kepler's third law, the. squares of the periodic times of the planets are proportional to the cubes of their mean distances from the sun ; therefore T' = *" a\ k being the same for all the planets. Hence c ==... | |
