Question:medium
How much time a satellite in an orbit at height 35780 km above earth's surface would take, if the mass of the earth would have been four times its original mass?
How much time a satellite in an orbit at height 35780 km above earth's surface would take, if the mass of the earth would have been four times its original mass?
Show Hint
Remember: The orbital time period is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of the central body. Increasing the mass of the earth reduces the time period.
