    A satellite is revolving around the earth in a  circular orbit of radius 4 times that of the parking orbit. The time period of the satellite is :

    A)  16 day                                 

    B)  2 day

    C)  4 day                                   

    D)  8 day

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Applying Keplers law \[T\propto {{r}^{3/2}}\] We know that time period of parking orbit is 1 day (given:  \[{{T}_{s}}=r\]parking orbit) Hence, \[\frac{{{T}_{s}}}{{{T}_{parking}}}={{\left( \frac{4{{r}_{parking\,orbit}}}{{{r}_{parking\,orbit}}} \right)}^{3/2}}\]                 \[={{(4)}^{3/2}}=8\]                 \[{{T}_{s}}=8\times {{T}_{parking}}\]                 \[=8\times 1=8days\]
