Question
A particle of mass $m$ is under the influence of the gravitational field of a body of mass $M(\gg m)$. The particle is moving in a circular orbit of radius $r_0$ with time period $T_0$ around the mass $M$. Then, the particle is subjected to an additional central force, corresponding to the potential energy $V_c(r)=m \alpha / r^3$, where $\alpha$ is a positive constant of suitable dimensions and $r$ is the distance from the center of the orbit. If the particle moves in the same circular orbit of radius $r_0$ in the combined gravitational potential due to $M$ and $V_c(r)$, but with a new time period $T_1$, then $\left(T_1^2-T_0^2\right) / T_1^2$ is given by [ $G$ is the gravitational constant.]
Select the correct option:
A
$\frac{3 \alpha}{G M_0^2}$
B
$\frac{\alpha}{2 G M v_0^2}$
C
$\frac{\alpha}{G M r_0^2}$
D
$\frac{2 \alpha}{G M_0^2}$
