Correct formula for height of a satellite from earths surface is _______.
Answer & Solution
(B) \(\left(\frac{T^2 R^2 g}{4 \pi^2}\right)^{1 / 3}-R\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{GM}}{(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{h})}=\mathrm{v}^2 \ldots(1)\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{h}) \omega\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{h}) \frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}} .\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}^2}=\mathrm{g}\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{GM}=\mathrm{gR}^2 .\)
Put value from \((2) \& (3) in eq. (1)\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{gR}^2}{(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{h})}=(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{h})^2\left(\frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}}\right)^2\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{T}^2 \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{~g}}{(2 \pi)^2}=(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{h})^3\)
\(\Rightarrow\left[\frac{\mathrm{T}^2 \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{~g}}{(2 \pi)^2}\right]^{1 / 3}-\mathrm{R}=\mathrm{h}\)
