Q.

For a certain hypothetical planet revolving around a star the total mechanical energy is given as E=GMm40l , where M is the mass of the star, m is the mass of the planet, l   is a certain distance and it is given that  M>>m . The distance between the planet and the centre of the star at the perihilion position is 4l. The velocity of the planet at perihilion is  Vp  and that at the aphelion  Vα   and the ratio VpVα=η . Then what must be the value of  η.
