To find the angular momentum of a satellite of mass \( M_s \) revolving around the Earth (mass \( M \)) in an orbit of radius \( R \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Satellite The satellite is in circular motion around the Earth due to gravitational attraction. The gravitational force provides the necessary centripetal force for the satellite's circular motion. ### Step 2: Write the Expression for Gravitational Force The gravitational force \( F_g \) acting on the satellite is given by Newton's law of gravitation: \[ ...
