The orbit of geostationary satellite is circular, the time period of satellite depeds on (i) mass of the satellite, (ii) mass of earth, (iii) readius of the orbit and (iv) height of the satellite from the surface of the earth

Options

A. mass of the satellite
B. mass of the earth
C. radius of the orbit
D. height of the satellite from the surface of earth

Answer

A

Explanation

Time period of satellite,
`T prop (1)/(M^(1//2))`, where M is mass of earth.
`T prop (R+h)^(3//2)`, where R is radius of the orbit, h is the height of satellite from the earth's surface.
