Suppose the law of gravitational attraction suddenly changes and becomes an inverse cube law i.e. $F \propto {1\over r^3}$, but still remaining a central force. Then

Kepler's second law states that a planet moves in its ellipse so that the line between it and the Sun placed at a focus sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
