The time period of a satellite, revolving above earth's surface at a height equal to \(R\) will be (Given \(g =\pi^2 m / s ^2, R =\) radius of earth)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\sqrt{32 R}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{ mv ^2}{2 R }=\frac{ GMm }{(2 R )^2} \Rightarrow v =\sqrt{\frac{ GM }{2 R }}=\sqrt{\frac{ Rg }{2}}\)
\(T =\frac{2 \pi(2 R )}{ v }=\frac{4 \pi R \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{ Rg }}=\sqrt{32 R }\)
