    The time period of satellites nearing the planet of radius R is T. Find the time period of nearest satellite for planet of radius 3R.

    A)  \[3\sqrt{3}\,T\]

    B)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\,T\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{3\sqrt{3}}\,T\]

    D)  \[\frac{3}{2}T\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The time period of nearest satellite \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{{{R}^{3}}}{GM}}\] \[T\propto {{R}^{3/2}}\] For planet of radius\[=3R\] \[T'\propto {{(3R)}^{3/2}}\] \[T'\propto 3\sqrt{3}T\]
