The radius of orbit of a geostationary satellite is given by _____ (M = Mass of the earth; R = Radius of the earth; T = Time period of the satellite) 3/2 b) 2/3 – R c) 1/3 – R d) 1/3

The radius of orbit of a geostationary satellite is given by _____ (M = Mass of the earth; R = Radius of the earth; T = Time period of the satellite) 3/2 b) 2/3 – R c) 1/3 – R d) 1/3 Correct Answer (T2*G*M)/(4*pi2)

The time period of a satellite is given by; T = 2 x pi x (R+h) 3/2/ (G x M)1/2 Solving for orbital radius “(R+h)”, we get; (R+h) = 1/3.
