1.	A geo-stationary satellite is orbiting the Earth of a height of 6R above the surface ofEarth R being the radius of the Earth calculate the time period of another satellite at a height of 2.5R from the surface of Earth.
Answer» SOLUTION :Distanceof SATELLITE fromthe centreare 7R and 3.5 R respectively . `(T_(2))/(T_(1)) = ((a_(2))/(a_(1)))^(3/2)` `T_(2) = T_(1) ((a_(2))/(a_(1)))^(3/2) = 24 ((3.5R)/(7R) )^(3/2)` `T_(2) = 8.49 ` (or) `6sqrt(2)` hours
