Two satellites P and Q are moving in different circular orbits around the Earth (radius R). The heights of P and Q from the Earth surface are ℎP and ℎQ, respectively, where ℎP = R/3. The accelerations of P and Q due to Earth’s gravity are gP and gQ, respectively.
If gP/gQ = 36/25, what is the value of ℎQ?
If gP/gQ = 36/25, what is the value of ℎQ?
- 3R/5
- R/6
- 6R/5
- 5R/6
Answer
(C) 6 R /5
