$A$ geostationary satellite is revolving around the Earth. If the radius of the Earth is $R$ and the angular speed of the Earth about its own axis is $\omega$,then the radius of the orbit of the geostationary satellite is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $\left[\frac{R^2 \omega^2}{g}\right]^{1/3}$
  • B
    $\left[\frac{Rg}{\omega^2}\right]^{1/3}$
  • C
    $\left[\frac{R^2 g}{\omega}\right]^{1/3}$
  • D
    $\left[\frac{R^2 g}{\omega^2}\right]^{1/3}$
