A satellite A of mass m is at a distance of r from the centre of the earth. Another satellite B of mass 2m is at distance of 2r from the earth's centre. Their time periode are in the ratio of

A

`1:2`

B

`1:19`

C

`1:32`

D

`1:2sqrt2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

`(T_(2))/(T_(1))=((r_(2))/(r_(1)))^(3//2)=((2r)/(r))^(3//2)`
`(T_(2))/(T_(1))=(2sqrt2)/(1)`
`(T_(1))/(T_(2))=(1)/(2sqrt2)`.
