In planetary motion, the areal velocity of the position vector of a planet depends on the angular velocity \((\omega)\) and the distance of the planet from the sun \((r)\). The correct relation for areal velocity is:
1. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega r\)
2. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega^2 r\)
3. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega r^2\)
4. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \sqrt{\omega r}\)
