Two satellites A and B of masses 200 kg and 400 kg are revolving round the earth at height of 600 km and 1600 km respectively. If T A and T B are the time periods of A and B respectively then the value of T B - T A : [ Given : radius of earth = 6400 km , mass of earth = 6 × 10 24 kg ]

Question

Two satellites A and B of masses 200 kg and 400 kg are revolving round the earth at height of 600 km and 1600 km respectively. If T A and T B are the time periods of A and B respectively then the value of T B - T A : [ Given : radius of earth = 6400 km , mass of earth = 6 × 10 24 kg ], 4 . 24 × 10 3 s, 3 . 33 × 10 2 s, 1 . 33 × 10 3 s, 4 . 24 × 10 2 s
