SATHEE: Gravitation Question 57

Gravitation Question 57

Question: A research satellite of mass 200 kg circles the earth in an orbit of average radius 3R/2 where R is the radius of the earth. Assuming the gravitational pull on a mass of 1 kg on the earth’s surface to be 10 N, the pull on the satellite will be[Kerala (Engg.) 2002]

Options:

A) 880 N

B) 889 N

C) 890 N

D) 892 N

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$[g^{'} = g, {(\frac{R}{R + h})}^{2} = g, {(\frac{R}{3 R / 2})}^{2} = \frac{4}{9} g]$ \ $[W^{'} = \frac{4}{9} \times m g = \frac{4 \times 200 \times 9.8}{9} = 880 N]$
