What is a period of revolution of earth satellite? Ignore the height of satellite above the surface of earth.
Given : (1) The value of gravitational acceleration g=10ms2.
(2) Radius of earth RE=6400 km. Take π=3.14.
  1. 85 minutes
  2. 83.73 minutes
  3. 90 minutes
  4. 156 minutes

A
156 minutes
B
83.73 minutes
C
90 minutes
D
85 minutes
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Radius of earth RE=6400 km =6.4×106 m
Time period of revolution T=2πREg
T=2×3.14×6.4×10610 T=5024 s
T=502460=83.73 minutes
