The mean radius of earth is R, its angular speed on its own axis is `omega` and the acceleration due to gravity at earth's surface is g. What will be the radius of the orbit of a geostationary satellite
(a) `((R^(2)g)/(omega^(2)))^(1//3)` (b) `((Rg)/(omega^(2)))^(1//3)` (c) `((R^(2)omega^(2))/(g))^(1//3)` (d) `((R^(2)g)/(omega))^(1//3)`

A

`(R^(2)g"/"omega^(2))^(1/3)`

B

`(Rg"/"omega^(2))^(1/3)`

C

`(R^(2)omega^(2)"/"g)^(1/3)`
