A satellite moves around the earth in a circular orbit with speed v . If m is the mass of the satellite, its total energy is

An artificial satellite is revolving around a planet of mass M and radius R in a circular orbit of radius r. From Kepler's third law about the period of a satellite around a common central body, square of the period of revolution T is proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit r. Show using dimensional analysis that T=(k)/(R) sqrt((r^(3))/(g)) where k is dimensionless RV g constant and g is acceleration due to gravity.
