Two satellites A and B are orbiting around the earth in ciruclar orbits of the same radius. The mass of A is 16 times that of B. Then the raito of the period of revolution of B to that of A is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`T = (2 pi r)/(upsilon)` and `upsilon = sqrt(Gm//r)`, where `M` is the
mass of the Earth. It means `T` is independent of mass of the satellite but depends upon the radius of the orbital path. So
`T_(B)//T_(A) = 1: 1`
