A satellite is orbitting around the earth with areal speed $v_a$. At what height from the  surface of the earth, it is rotating, if the radius of earth is $R$

  • A

    $\frac{{4v_a^2}}{{g{R^2}}} - R$

  • B

    $\frac{{2v_a^2}}{{g{R^2}}} - R$

  • C

    $\frac{{v_a^2}}{{g{R^2}}} - R$

  • D

    $\frac{{v_a^2}}{{2g{R^2}}} - R$
