$\frac{d A}{d t} \propto \sqrt{ω r}$

\frac{d A}{d t} \propto ω r

$\frac{d A}{d t} \propto ω r^{2}$

\frac{d A}{d t} \propto ω^{2} r

Detailed Solution

ΔA = Area swept out by the position vector = Area SP₁P_2;SP₁ =r, SP₂ = r + Δr

$∴ Δ A = \frac{1}{2} (S P_{1}) (S P_{2}) \sin Δ θ = \frac{1}{2} r (r + Δ r) \cdot Δ θ$

$\Rightarrow Δ A = \frac{1}{2} r^{2} \cdot \frac{Δ θ}{Δ t}$
As Δt → 0

$\frac{d A}{d t} = \frac{1}{2} r^{2} \cdot \frac{d θ}{d t} = \frac{1}{2} r^{2} ω$

$∴ \frac{d A}{d t} \propto ω r^{2}$
