A geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height 5 R above the surface of earth, where R is radius of earth. Find the time period of another satellite at a height of 2 R from the the surface of earth.

The answer is \Large 6 \sqrt {2} hours

 \Large \mathfrak \color {Magenta} \underline {\underline {Detailed\:Explanation}}

For Geostationary satellite

\Large {r_1} = R + 5R = 6R

For 2nd Satellite

\Large {r_2} = R + 2R = 3R

As we know, Time period of satelite is

 2\pi\sqrt{ \frac{ {r}^{3} }{GM} }  \\   \frac{T_2}{T_1} =  \sqrt{\frac {{r_2}^{3}} {{r_1}^{3}}}

T1 is the time period of earth = 24, So

\frac{T_2}{24} =  \sqrt{ \frac {{(3R)}^{3}} {{(6R)}^{3}}} \\  = > \frac{T_2}{24} =  \sqrt{ \frac{ {3}^{3} {R}^{3}  }{ {6}^{3}  {R}^{3} } }  \\  =  >  \frac{T_2}{24} = \sqrt{ \frac{27}{216} }  \\  =  > \frac{T_2}{24} =  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{8} }  \\   =  > \frac{T_2}{24}  =  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{4} \\  =  > {T_2} =  \frac{ \sqrt{2}  \times 24}{4}  \\ =  > {T_2} = 6 \sqrt{2}  \: hours
