Two satellites $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ are moving in different circular orbits around the Earth (radius $R$ ). The heights of $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ from the Earth surface are $h_{\mathrm{p}}$ and $h_{\mathrm{Q}}$, respectively, where $h_{\mathrm{p}}=\mathrm{R} / 3$. The accelerations of $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ due to Earth's gravity are $g_{\mathrm{p}}$ and $g_{\mathrm{Q}}$, respectively. If $g_{\mathrm{p}} / g_{\mathrm{Q}}=36 / 25$, what is the value of $h_Q$ ?
