What would Keplers third law be for circular orbits if an amendment to Newtons law of gravitation
Question:
What would Kepler’s third law be for circular orbits if an amendment to Newton’s law of gravitation made the gravitational force inversely proportional to r3? Would this change affect Kepler’s other two laws? Explain.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
