★ T = 2πr/V
where V = √Gme/Re
Therefore,
T = 2πr√r / √Gme
(me = mass of earth)
=> T = 2πr³/² / √Gme .......(1)
Nearby earth r = Re
T = 2πr³/² / √Gme
T = 2πRe^³/² / √Gme
T² = 4π²Re³/ Gme.......(2)
putting g = Gme/Re²
Gme = gRe²......(3)
putting the value of (3) in (2)
T² = 4π²Re³/gRe²
T = 2π √ Re/g
T = 2π √1600 × 1000/10
T = 1600π sec
or,
T = 1.4ms
