  • A
    $4{\pi ^2}{R^3}{G^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 2}}$
  • B
    $8{\pi ^2}{R^3}{G^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 2}}$
  • C
    $12{\pi ^2}{R^3}{G^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 2}}$
  • D
    $16{\pi ^2}{R^3}{G^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 2}}$

$A$ planet is moving in a circular orbit. It completes $2$ revolutions in $360$ days. What is its angular frequency?

The distance between two stars of masses $3 M_S$ and $6 M_S$ is $9 R$. Here $R$ is the mean distance between the centers of the Earth and the Sun,and $M_S$ is the mass of the Sun. The two stars orbit around their common center of mass in circular orbits with period $n T$,where $T$ is the period of Earth's revolution around the Sun. The value of $n$ is. . . . .

Two satellites are launched at a distance $R$ from a planet of negligible radius. Both satellites are launched in the tangential direction. The first satellite launches correctly at a speed $v_0$ and enters a circular orbit. The second satellite,however,is launched at a speed $\frac{1}{2}v_0$. What is the minimum distance between the second satellite and the planet over the course of its orbit?

$A$ satellite is orbiting just above the surface of the earth with period $T$. If $d$ is the density of the earth and $G$ is the universal constant of gravitation,the quantity $\frac{3 \pi}{G d}$ represents :
