A satellite is revolving in a circular orbit of radius 2R R

A satellite is revolving in a circular orbit of radius 2R R radius of earth The plane of the orbit is in equatorial plane and the direction of rotation of the satellite is opposite to the direction of spin of earth If T be the time period of rotation of earth around its own geometrical axis then time period of rotation of the satellite with respect to an observer on the surface of earth on its equator is 1 T 2 2x R g 3 2RT R T 9 2T R T R 2 zr R T g 4 2 T R 2 27 R T G
