$A$ satellite is revolving around a planet in a circular orbit close to its surface. Let $\rho$ be the mean density and $R$ be the radius of the planet. Then the period of the satellite is ($G=$ universal constant of gravitation).

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \pi}{\rho G}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{\rho G}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{3 \pi}{\rho G}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 \pi}{\rho G}}$

$A$ body $A$ of mass $m$ is moving in a circular orbit of radius $R$ about a planet. Another body $B$ of mass $\frac{m}{2}$ collides with $A$ with a velocity which is half $\left(\frac{\overrightarrow{v}}{2}\right)$ the instantaneous velocity $\overrightarrow{v}$ of $A$. The collision is completely inelastic. Then,the combined body

$A$ geostationary satellite above the equator is orbiting around the earth at a fixed distance $r_1$ from the center of the earth. $A$ second satellite is orbiting in the equatorial plane in the opposite direction to the earth's rotation,at a distance $r_2$ from the center of the earth,such that $r_1 = 1.21 r_2$. The time period of the second satellite as measured from the geostationary satellite is $\frac{24}{p}$ hours. The value of $p$ is $....$
