Answer :

Using Newton's Law of gravity, the length of the year is 364.24 days.

According to Newton's law, there exist a force of gravitation between the sun and the earth, The gravitational force is responsible for the revolution of earth around the sun,

So, we can write,

MW²/R = GMm/R²

Where,

M is the mass of earth,

m is the mass of the sun,

R is the distance between the sun and the earth,

G is the universal Gravitational constant.

Solving the relation,

W² = Gm/R

W = √(Gm/R)

The time period of revolution is given by,

T = 2π/W

So, we can write,

T = 2π√(R/Gm)

Bow, putting all the values,

T = 2π(147 x 10⁶/2 x 10³⁰ x 6 x 10⁻¹¹)

T = 364.24 Days.

So, the length of the year is 364.24 years.
