A satellite is revolving in circular orbit of radius `r` around the earth of mass M. Time of revolution of satellite is

A

`Tprop(r^(5))/(GM)`

B

`T propsqrt((r^(3))/(GM))`

C

`T prop sqrt((r)/((GM^(2))/(3)))`

D

`T prop sqrt((r^(3))/((GM)/(4)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The time period of revolution of satellite is given by
`rArr T=2pisqrt((r^(3))/(GM))rArr T=prop sqrt((r^(3))/(GM))`.
