Question

A satellite which is geostationary in a particular orbit is taken to another orbit, the distance of which is twice that of earlier orbit. The time period of the satellite in the second orbit is :, 24 h, 48 h, 48 2 h, 48 2 h

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

T 2 ∝ r 3 T 1 T 2 = r 1 r 2 3 / 2 ; 24 h T = r 2 r 3 / 2 T = 24 2 2 ; T = 48 2 h
