    The relative uncertainty in the period of a satellite orbiting around the earth is \[{{10}^{-2}}.\] If the relative uncertainty in the radius of the orbit is negligible, the relative uncertainty in the mass of the earth is [JEE Main 16-4-2018]

    A) \[3\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                   

    B) \[{{10}^{-2}}\]

    C) \[2\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                   

    D) \[6\times {{10}^{-2}}\]    

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{{{r}^{3}}}{G{{M}_{e}}}}\]                 \[{{T}^{2}}=\frac{4{{(\pi )}^{2}}{{r}^{3}}}{GM}\]                 \[\ln ({{T}^{2}})=ln(\frac{4{{(\pi )}^{2}}{{r}^{3}}}{GM})\]                 \[\ln ({{T}^{2}})=\ln (\frac{4{{(\pi )}^{2}}{{r}^{3}}}{G})+\ln (M)\]                 \[2\ln (T)=\ln (K)+\ln (M)\]                 \[2\frac{\Delta \Tau }{T}=\frac{\Delta M}{M}\]                 \[\frac{\Delta \Mu }{M}=2\times {{10}^{-2}}\]
