A very long (length ) cylindrical galaxy is made of uniformly distributed mass and has radius . A star outside the galaxy is orbiting the galaxy in a plane perpendicular to the galaxy and passing through its centre. If the time period of the star is and its distance from the galaxy's axis is , then




A star mass (equal to the solar mass) with a planet (much smaller than the star) revolves around the star in a circular orbit. The velocity of the star with respect to the centre of mass of star-planet system is shown below:
The radius of the planet's orbit is closest to ()
