How long will a satellite, placed in a c...

How long will a satellite, placed in a circular orbit of radius that is `(1/4)^(th)` the radius of a geostationary satellite, take to complete one revolution around the earth?

A

12 hours

B

6 hours

C

3 hours

D

4 hours

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(T_1)/(T_2)=((r_1)/(r_2))^(3/2)=(4)^(3/2)`
`rArrT_2=24/8=3` hours
