The earth satellite has an orbit radius which is 4 times that of a communication satellite. Then the period of revolution of will be

A

4 days

B

8 days

C

16 days

D

32 days

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
`T^(2)prop R^(3) therefore [(T_(s))/(T_(c))]^(2)=(4)^(3)`
`therefore" "T_(s)="8 days"`
