The minimum and maximum distances of a satellite from the
centre of the earth are 2R and 4R, respectively, where R is the
radius of earth and M is the mass of the earth.
Radius of curvature at the point of minimum distance is
- \(\frac{8 R}{3}\)
- \(\frac{5 R}{3}\)
- \(\frac{4 R}{3}\)
- \(\frac{7 R}{3}\)
Answer
(A) 8 R 3
