suppose two planets spherical in shape in radii R and 2R but mass M and 9M respectively have a centre to centre separation 8 R as shown in the figure A satellite of mass m is projected from the surface of the planet of mass M directly towards the centre of the second planet The minimum speed v required for the satellite to reach the surface of the second planet is then the value of a is a GM 7 R Given The two planets are fixed in their position MR 9M 2R
