Vedclass · Answer

(b)

Time period of rotation of earth $=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$

(Duration of one day)

Geostationary satellite has same time period, $T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$. Let $r$ be the radius of orbit of satellite $\Rightarrow$ Time period of satellite $=\frac{2 \pi r^{3 / 2}}{\sqrt{G M_	heta}}$

Also, $g=\frac{G M_e}{R_e^2}$

$\Rightarrow T=\frac{2 \pi r^{3 / 2}}{\sqrt{g}\left(R_eight)}=\frac{2 \pi r^{3 / 2}}{R_e \sqrt{g}}=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$

$\Rightarrow r^{3 / 2}=\frac{R_e}{\omega} \sqrt{g}$

$\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{R_e^2}{\omega^2} gight)^{1 / 2}$

The mean radius of earth is $R$, and its angular speed on its axis is $\omega$. What will be the radius of orbit of a geostationary satellite?
