A) the mass of the satellite
B) radius of the orbit
C) mass of the earth and radius of the earth
D) None of the above
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The time period of an artificial satellite is given by \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{{{({{R}_{e}}+h)}^{3}}}{gR_{e}^{2}}}\] where \[{{R}_{e}}\] is radius of earth and h the height of satellite. From the above formula it is clear that time period of revolution does not depend upon the mass of the satellite.
