10. A planet of mass m orbits the sun of mass M in an elliptical path (see Figure 1), with the sun at afocal point. In accord with Kepler's laws, a line drawn from the sun to a planet sweeps out equalareas in cqual times, i.e., dAidt is a constant. Assume that the angular momentum of the planetrelative to the sun is L, then dA/ dt is given by
