A satellite `P` is revolving around the earth at a height `h`=radius of earth `(R)` above equator. Another satellite `Q` is at a height `2h` revolving in oppisite direction. At an instant the two are at same vertical line passing through centres of sphere. Find the least time of after which again they are in this situation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(2piR^(3//2)(6sqrt(6)))/(sqrt(GM)(2sqrt(2)+3sqrt(3)))`

`omega=sqrt((Gm)/(r^(3))impliesW_(1)=sqrt((Gm)/((R+R)^(3)))`
`omega_(1)=sqrt((Gm)/((2R)^(3)))`
`omega_(2)=sqrt((Gm)/((R+2R)^(3)))impliesomega_(2)=sqrt((Gm)/((3R)^(2)))`
`omega_(rel)=omega_(1)+omega_(2)`
`omega_(2)=(sqrt(Gm))/(R^(3//2))[1/(2sqrt(2))+1/(3sqrt(3))]`
`omega_(rel)=(sqrt(Gm))/(R^(3//2))xx((3sqrt(3)+2sqrt(2)))/(6sqrt(6))`
`T=(2pi)/(omega_(rel))impliesT=(2piR^(3//2)xx6sqrt(6))/(sqrt(Gm)(3sqrt(3)+2sqrt(2)))`
