AI Generated Solution

To calculate the time period of a satellite revolving in an orbit close to the surface of a planet, we can use the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between the time period and the radius of the orbit. The time period \( T \) of a satellite in orbit can be derived from the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}} \] where: ...
