A research satellite of mass 200kg circles the earth in an orbit of average radius 3R/2, where R is the radius of the earth. Assuming the gravitational pull on a mass of 1kg inthe earth's surface to be 10N, find the pull on the satellite

Dear Student,

We know,F=Gm1m2r2[Gravitational Force]Given,GMe(1)R2=10NForce on satelliteGMe(100)3R22=100GMe94R2=100×49×GMeR2=400×109=40009=444.44N


Regards,
