Two planets \(A\) and \(B\) of equal masses are having their periods of revolution \(T_{A}\) and \(T_{B}\) such that \(T_{A}=2 {T}_{B}\). These planets are revolving in the circular orbits of radii \({r}_{A}\) and \(r_{B}\) respectively. Which of the following would be the correct relationship of their orbits?
1. \(2 r_{A}^2=r_{B}^2 \)
2. \(r_{A}^3=2 r_{B}^3 \)
3. \(r_{A}^3=4{r}_{B}^3 \)
4. \(T_{A}^2-{T}_{B}^2=\dfrac{\pi^2}{GM}\left({r}_{B}^3-4 {r}_{A}^3\right)\)

The law of gravitation states that the gravitational force between two bodies of mass \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) is given by:
\(F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\)
\(G\) (gravitational constant) \(=7\times 10^{-11}~\text{N-m}^2\text{kg}^{-2}\).
\(r\) (distance between the two bodies) in the case of the Earth and Moon \(=4\times 10^8~\text{m}\)
\(m_1~(\text{Earth})=6\times 10^{24}~\text{kg}\)
\(m_2~(\text{Moon})=7\times 10^{22}~\text{kg}\)
What is the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon?
1. \(1.8375 \times 10^{19}~\text{N}\)
2. \(1.8375 \times 10^{20}~\text{N}\)
