A satellite is revolving in the circular equatorial orbit of radius R=2xx10^(4)km from east to west. Calculate the interval after which it will appear at the same equatorial town. Given that the radius of the earth =6400km and g (acceleration due to gravity) =10ms^(-2)

Mean solar day is the time interval between two successive noon when sun passes through zenith point (meridian). Sidereal day is the time interval between two successive transit of a distant star through the zenith point (meridian). By drawing appropriate diagram showing the earth's spin and orbital motion, show that mean solar day is 4 min longer than the sidereal day. In other words, distant stars would rise 4 min early every successive day.
