Given raduis of earth 'R' and length of ...

Given raduis of earth `'R'` and length of a day `'T'` the height of a geostationary satellite is [`G`-Gravitational constant `M`-mass of earth]

A

`((4pi^(2)GM)/(T^(2)))^(1//3)`

B

`((4piGM)/(R^(2)))^(1//3)-R`

C

`((GMT^(2))/(4pi^(2)))^(1//3)-R`

D

`((GMT^(2))/(4pi^(2)))^(1//3)+R`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`T=2pi sqrt((r^(3))/(GM))impliesT^(2)=(4pi^(2))/(GM)(R+h)^(3)`
`h=[(GMT^(2))/(4pi^(2))]^(1//3)-R`
