Question

 

If the period of revolution of an artificial satellite just above the earth be Tand the density of earth be then prove that ρT2 is a universal constant. Also calculate the value of this constant. 

Solution

Correct option is

 

If the period of revolution of a satellite about the earth be T. then

                            

Where h is the height of the satellite from earth’s surface.

                        

The satellite is revolving just above the earth, hence h is negligible compared to Re.

                       

 where ρ is the density of the earth. Thus

                         

                        

Which is a universal constant. To determine its value,
