Answer:
Decreases the time period of revolution
Explanation:
The time period of Cygnus X-1 orbiting a massive star is 5.6 days.
The orbital velocity of a planet is given by the formula,
v = √[GM/(R + h)]
In the case of rotational motion, v = (R +h)ω
ω = √[GM/(R + h)] /(R +h)
Where 'ω' is the angular velocity of the planet
The time period of rotational motion is,
T = 2π/ω
By substitution,
<em>T = 2π(R +h)√[(R + h)/GM] </em>
Hence, from the above equation, if the mass of the star is greater, the gravitational force between them is greater. This would reduce the time period of revolution of the planet.
