(Radius of earth is \(6.4 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}\) )

  1. A \(22.6 \mathrm{~km}\)
  2. B \(45 \mathrm{~km}\)
  3. C \(36 \mathrm{~km}\)
  4. D \(67.5 \mathrm{~km}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(22.6 \mathrm{~km}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{r}}=20 \times 2=40 \mathrm{~m} \\ & \mathrm{~d}_{\mathrm{m}}=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{R}}=\sqrt{2 \times 40 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}=22.6 \mathrm{~km}\end{aligned}\)
