If mean radius of earth is R, its angular velocity is omega and the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the earth is g. Then the cube of the radius of the orbit of geostationary satellite will be

Answer»

`(R^(2)g)/(omega^(2))`
`(R^(2) omega^(2))/(g)`
`(R^(2)g)/(omega)`
`(RG)/(omega^(2))`

Solution :Time PERIOD of SATELLITE, `T=(2pir^(3//2))/(sqrt(GM))or sqrt(GM)=(2pi)/(T).r^(3//2)`
`(2pi)/(T)=omega`
`:. omegar^(3//2)=sqrt(GM)or r^(3) =(GM)/(omega^(2))=(gR^(2))/(omega^(2))`
