A satellite moves in a circle around the Earth, the radius of this circle is equal to one half of the radius of the Moon's orbit. The satellite completes one revolution in ........ lunar month.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(T_(e))/(T_(m)) = ((a_(e))/(a_(m)))^(3/2)`
`T_(e) = T_(m) xx (1/2)^(3/2) = 1xx (2)^((-3)/2)`
`T_(e) = 2^((-3)/2 )` lunar month
