The correct Answer is:
To find the time period of satellite B, we can use Kepler's Third Law of planetary motion, which states that the square of the time period of a satellite is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (or radius) of its orbit. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Radius of satellite A, \( r_A = 10^4 \) km - Radius of satellite B, \( r_B = 2 \times 10^4 \) km - Time period of satellite A, \( T_A = 28 \) hours 2. **Apply Kepler's Third Law:** According to Kepler's Third Law: \[ \frac{T_A^2}{T_B^2} = \frac{r_A^3}{r_B^3} \] 3. **Substitute the Known Values:** Substitute the values of \( T_A \), \( r_A \), and \( r_B \): \[ \frac{(28)^2}{T_B^2} = \frac{(10^4)^3}{(2 \times 10^4)^3} \] 4. **Calculate the Right Side:** Simplify the right side: \[ \frac{(10^4)^3}{(2 \times 10^4)^3} = \frac{10^{12}}{(2^3) \times 10^{12}} = \frac{1}{8} \] 5. **Set Up the Equation:** Now we have: \[ \frac{(28)^2}{T_B^2} = \frac{1}{8} \] 6. **Cross Multiply to Solve for \( T_B^2 \):** Cross multiplying gives: \[ 28^2 = \frac{T_B^2}{8} \] Therefore, \[ T_B^2 = 8 \times 28^2 \] 7. **Calculate \( T_B^2 \):** Calculate \( 28^2 \): \[ 28^2 = 784 \] Thus, \[ T_B^2 = 8 \times 784 = 6272 \] 8. **Find \( T_B \):** Taking the square root: \[ T_B = \sqrt{6272} \] 9. **Simplify \( \sqrt{6272} \):** We can simplify \( \sqrt{6272} \): \[ \sqrt{6272} = \sqrt{64 \times 98} = 8\sqrt{98} = 8 \times 7\sqrt{2} = 56\sqrt{2} \] 10. **Final Result:** Therefore, the time period of satellite B is: \[ T_B = 56\sqrt{2} \text{ hours} \]
