The radius of a planet is `R`. A satellite revolves around it in a circle of radius `r` with angular velocity `omega_(0)`. The acceleration due to the gravity on planet's surface is

A

`(r^(3)omega_(0))/R`

B

`(r^(3)omega_(0)^(2))/(R^(2))`

C

`(r^(3)omega_(0)^(2))/R`

D

`(r^(3)omega_(0)^(2))/(R^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`(GMm)/(r^(2))=momega_(0)^(2)r`
`implies GM=omega_(0)^(2)r^(3)`
`implies gR^(2)=omega_(0)^(2)r^(3)`
`implies g=(omega_(0)^(2)r^(3))/(R^(2))`
