2. A particle of mass m is under the influence of the gravitational field of a body of mass M (>> m). The particle is
moving in a circular orbit of radius r0 with time period T0 around the mass M. Then, the particle is subjected to
an additional central force, corresponding to the potential energy Vc(r) = m/r3, where  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 r0 in the combined gravitational potential due to M and Vc(r), but with a new time period T1, then
