The correct Answer is:
To find the relation between the orbital velocities of the Rohini satellite and INSAT-B, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for orbital velocity The orbital velocity \( V \) of a satellite is given by the formula: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} \] where: - \( G \) is the gravitational constant, - \( M \) is the mass of the Earth, - \( r \) is the distance from the center of the Earth to the satellite. ### Step 2: Define the heights and distances Given: - Height of Rohini satellite \( h_R = 500 \) km, - Height of INSAT-B satellite \( h_I = 3600 \) km. The radius of the Earth \( R \) is approximately \( 6400 \) km. Therefore, the distances from the center of the Earth to the satellites are: - For Rohini satellite: \[ r_R = R + h_R = 6400 \text{ km} + 500 \text{ km} = 6900 \text{ km} \] - For INSAT-B satellite: \[ r_I = R + h_I = 6400 \text{ km} + 3600 \text{ km} = 10000 \text{ km} \] ### Step 3: Write the expressions for orbital velocities Using the formula for orbital velocity, we can write: - For Rohini satellite: \[ V_R = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r_R}} = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{6900 \text{ km}}} \] - For INSAT-B satellite: \[ V_I = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r_I}} = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{10000 \text{ km}}} \] ### Step 4: Find the ratio of the orbital velocities Now, we can find the ratio of the orbital velocities: \[ \frac{V_R}{V_I} = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{GM}{6900}}}{\sqrt{\frac{GM}{10000}}} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{V_R}{V_I} = \sqrt{\frac{10000}{6900}} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the ratio Calculating the square root: \[ \frac{V_R}{V_I} = \sqrt{\frac{10000}{6900}} \approx \sqrt{1.449} \approx 1.207 \] ### Conclusion Since \( V_R > V_I \), we conclude that the orbital velocity of the Rohini satellite is greater than that of the INSAT-B satellite. ### Final Relation Thus, the relation between their orbital velocities is: \[ V_R > V_I \]

To find the relation between the orbital velocities of the Rohini satellite and INSAT-B, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for orbital velocity The orbital velocity \( V \) of a satellite is given by the formula: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} \] ...
