A satellite of mass 'm' is revolving around the earth of mass 'M' in an orbit of radius 'r' with constant angular velocity ' \(\omega^{\prime}\). The angular momentum of the satellite is
(G = gravitational constant)

  1. A \(\mathrm{m}(\mathrm{GMr})\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{m}(\mathrm{GMr})^{1 / 2}\)
  3. C \((\mathrm{GMmr})^{1 / 2}\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{GMr}}{\mathrm{m}}\right)^{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{m}(\mathrm{GMr})^{1 / 2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Angular momentum \(=m v r=m \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}} r \)
\( =m \sqrt{G M r} \)
\( =m(G M r)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
