-
because it's going at a constant speed.
-
If it goes that far in one week,
-
it'll go that far in one week
-
and everyone can tell the area swept out is constant.
-
So, the only thing left to knock off is a third assumption,
-
the third observation of Kepler involving the time period.
-
So, I do the simplest thing.
-
I say, the velocity of this planet is
-
2·π·r divided by the time period.
-
I put that in here and I get
-
or I find r^3 / T^2 is equal to--
-
well, let me write T^2 / r^3,
