Answer» Using the formula, Here, T is time period, R is ORBIT RADIUS G is gravitational CONSTANT and M_EME is mass of earth.
Given, M_EME = 4 × original mass of earth, = 4 × 5.92 × 10²⁴ kg Orbit radius , R = Earth's radius + height of satellite from Earth's SURFACE = 6400 km + 35780 km = 42180 km = 4.2180 × 10⁷ m G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/Kg²
Now, T = 2π√{(4.2180 × 10⁷)³/(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹) × (4 × 5.92 × 10²⁴)} = 43309.8 sec
So, T = 43309.8/3600 ≈ 12 hrs
Hence, time to COMPLETE revolution by satellite is 12 hrs
