The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the period of revolution of a satellite revolving very close to a planet of density \( \rho \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Time Period Formula**: The time period \( T \) of a satellite in orbit is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}} \] where \( r \) is the distance from the center of the planet to the satellite, \( G \) is the gravitational constant, and \( M \) is the mass of the planet. 2. **Identifying the Distance**: Since the satellite is revolving very close to the surface of the planet, we can set: \[ r = R \] where \( R \) is the radius of the planet. 3. **Expressing Mass in Terms of Density**: The mass \( M \) of the planet can be expressed in terms of its density \( \rho \) and volume \( V \): \[ M = \rho V \] For a sphere, the volume \( V \) is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \] Therefore, the mass of the planet becomes: \[ M = \rho \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\right) \] 4. **Substituting Mass into the Time Period Formula**: Now, substituting \( M \) into the time period formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{R^3}{G \left(\rho \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\right)}} \] 5. **Simplifying the Expression**: Simplifying the expression: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{R^3}{\frac{4}{3} \pi G \rho R^3}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3}{4\pi G \rho}} \] This simplifies further to: \[ T = \sqrt{\frac{3 \cdot 4\pi}{4\pi G \rho}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3}{4G\rho}} \] 6. **Final Expression for the Time Period**: Therefore, the period of revolution of the satellite is: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3}{4G\rho}} = \frac{3\pi}{\sqrt{G\rho}} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the period of revolution of the satellite is: \[ T = \frac{3\pi}{\sqrt{G\rho}} \]
