A satellite which is geostationary in a particular orbit is taken to another orbit. Its distance from the centre of earth in new orbit is 2 times that of the earlier orbit. The time period in the second orbit isA. 24 hoursB. 48 hoursC. `48sqrt(2)` hoursD. `(48)/(sqrt(2))` hours

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`T^(2)prop R^(3) " " (T_(2)^(2))/(T_(1)^(2))=((2)/(1))^(3)=8`
`therefore T_(2)=sqrt(8)T_(1)=24xx2sqrt(2)=48 sqrt(2)` hour.
