An earth's satellite nejar the surface of the earth takes about 90 min per revolution. A satellite orbiting the moon also takes about 90 min per revolution. Then which of the following is true?

  1. A \(\rho_m < \rho_e\)
  2. B \(\rho_m > \rho_e\)
  3. C \(\rho_{\mathrm{m}}=\rho_{\mathrm{e}}\)
  4. D No conclusion can be made about the densities
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\rho_{\mathrm{m}}=\rho_{\mathrm{e}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : \(m\left(E_g\right)=m \omega^2 R\) \(\begin{aligned} & m \cdot 4 \pi \frac{G \rho R}{3}=m \omega^2 R \\ & \Rightarrow \omega^2 \propto \rho \\ & \Rightarrow T \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\rho}} \end{aligned}\) If \(\mathrm{T}\) are equal, so will be \(\rho\)
