Answer:
Explanation:
Time period of rotation
T = 2πR/ V where R is radius of orbit and V is orbital velocity
Orbital velocity V = √ ( GM/R ) , m is mass of the earth .
T = 2πR √R / GM
T² = 4π²R³ / GM
Putting the values
( 126 x 60 )² = 4 x 3.14² x R³ / 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴
57.15 x 10⁶ = 39.44 x R³ / 39.82 x 10¹³
R³ = 577 X 10¹⁸
R = 8.325 x 10⁶ m
= 8325 km
Radius of earth = 6400 km
height of satellite = 8325- 6400 = 1925 km .
