To solve the problem of finding the ratio of linear speeds and angular speeds of two satellites \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) revolving around the Earth at distances \( 3R \) and \( 6R \) from the center of the Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the gravitational force and centripetal force The gravitational force acting on a satellite is given by: \[ F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the Earth, \( m \) is the mass of the satellite, and \( r \) is the distance from the center of the Earth. ...
