If rho is the mean density of the earth ...

If `rho` is the mean density of the earth and R is its radius, then the critical speed of a satellite revolving very close to the surface of earth is :

A

`2R sqrt((G pi rho)/(3))`

B

`2R sqrt((3G)/(pi rho))`

C

`2R sqrt((pi rho)/(3G))`

D

`2R sqrt((3)/(G pi rho))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`v_(c )=sqrt((GM)/(R ))=sqrt((G4 pi R^(3)rho)/(3R))=2R sqrt((G pi rho)/(3R))= 2R sqrt((G pi rho)/(3))`
