The mean radius of the earth is `R`, its angular speed on its own axis is `omega` and the acceleration due to gravity at earth's surface is `g`. The cube of the radius of the orbit of a geo-stationary satellite will be

A

`(R^(2)g//omega)`

B

`(R^(2)omega//g)`

C

`(Rg//omega^(2))`

D

`(R^(2)g//omega^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`mromega^(2)=(GMm)/(r^(2))`
`impliesromega^(2)=(GM)/(r^(2))`
`impliesr^(3)=(GM)/(omega^(2))=(GM)/(R^(2)).(R^(2))/(omega^(2))`
`impliesr^(3)=g(R^(2))/(omega^(2))`
