Detailed Solution

Step 1: Identify the relevant physical law

According to Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion, the square of the time period of revolution ($T$) of a planet around the Sun is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis ($R$) of its orbit.

Step 2: Formulate the mathematical relationship

The relationship is expressed as: $$T^2 \propto R^3$$

Step 3: Solve for T

To find the proportionality for the time period ($T$), we take the square root of both sides: $$T \propto (R^3)^{1/2}$$ $$T \propto R^{3/2}$$

Final Answer: R^{3/2}

A frictionless circular wire of unit radius is fixed on the horizontal plane. Two-point particles of unit mass start moving simultaneously from point $A(\theta=\frac{\pi}{2})$ with identical uniform angular speeds in opposite directions, and meet again at point $B(\theta=-\frac{\pi}{2})$. During this time, which of the following figures schematically represent the magnitude of the total linear momentum P of the system, as a function of $\theta$? [Image Placeholder]
