Two satellites are moving in circular orbits of same radii. The mass osf the first satellite is double than the mass of the second one. Then the ratio of their time periods is

A

`1:2`

B

`2:1`

C

`1:sqrt2`

D

`1:1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`(T_(1))/(T_(2))=(1)/(1)`
Since, T is independent of mass of the satellite.
