\mathrm{T \propto r^{3 / 2}}

\mathrm{\therefore \frac{T_2}{T_1}=\left(\frac{r_2}{r_1}\right)^{3 / 2}}

\mathrm{\text { or } \quad \begin{aligned} \mathrm{T}_2 & =\left(\frac{r_2}{r_1}\right)^{3 / 2} \mathrm{~T}_1=\left(\frac{3.5 R}{7 R}\right)^{3 / 2}(24) \mathrm{h} \\ & =8.48 \mathrm{~h} \end{aligned}}
