$A$ particle is moving in an elliptical orbit as shown in the figure. If $\vec{p}$,$\vec{L}$,and $\vec{r}$ denote the linear momentum,angular momentum,and position vector of the particle (from focus $O$) respectively at point $A$,then the direction of $\vec{\alpha} = \vec{p} \times \vec{L}$ is along

$A$ satellite of mass $\frac{M}{2}$ is revolving around the Earth in a circular orbit at a height of $\frac{R}{3}$ from the Earth's surface. The angular momentum of the satellite is $M \sqrt{\frac{GMR}{x}}$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . ,where $M$ and $R$ are the mass and radius of the Earth,respectively. ($G$ is the gravitational constant)
