The angular velocity of rotation of a planet of mass M and radius R, at which the matter start to escape from its equator is

A

`sqrt((2GM)/(R^(3)))`

B

`sqrt((2GM)/(R ))`

C

`sqrt((2G^(2)M)/(R ))`

D

`sqrt((2GM^(2))/(R ))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`V_(E )=sqrt((2GM)/(R ))`
`therefore omega=(V_(E ))/(R )=(1)/(R )sqrt((2GM)/(R ))=sqrt((2GM)/(R^(3)))`
