To derive the equation for the period of revolution of an artificial satellite revolving at a height \( h \) from the surface of the Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Forces Acting on the Satellite The satellite experiences two main forces: 1. **Centripetal Force**: Required to keep the satellite in circular motion. 2. **Gravitational Force**: The force of attraction between the Earth and the satellite. ### Step 2: Write the Expression for Centripetal Force ...
