Modeling Using Variation · Exercise 54

Use Kepler’s Law, which states that the square of the time, $T,$ required for a planet to orbit the Sun varies directly with the cube of the mean distance, $a,$ that the planet is from the Sun.

Using Earth’s distance of 150 million kilometers, find the equation relating $T$ and $a .$
