Orbital radius of a satellite S of earth...

Orbital radius of a satellite S of earth is four times that s communication satellite C. Period of revolution of S is :-

A

4 days

B

8 days

C

12 days

D

2 days

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(T_(s))/(T_(c ))=((r_(s))/(r_(c )))^(3//2)=8`
`therefore T_(s)=8xx1=8` days
