Question
A geo-stationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height of 6R above the surface of earth, R being the radius of earth. The time period of another satellite at a height of 2.5 R from the surface of earth is :-
Options
A.10 hr
B.
hr
hrC.6 hr
D.6 √2 hr
Solution
Distances of the satellite from the centre are 7R and 3.5R respectively.
⇒ T2 = 24 
= 6√2 hr
⇒ T2 = 24 = 6√2 hrCreate a free account to view solution
