A satellite is orbiting just above the surface of the earth with period TT. If dd is the density of the earth and GG is the universal constant of gravitation, the quantity 3πGd\dfrac{3\pi}{Gd} represents :

Options

  1. AT\sqrt{T}
  2. BTT
  3. CT2{T}^{2}
  4. DT3{T}^{3}

Correct answer

C. T2{T}^{2}

Step-by-step solution

The formula to calculate the mass of the Earth considering it a sphere is given by

M=43πR3d...(1)M = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi{R}^{3}d . . . \left(1\right)

The formula to calculate the time period of revolution of the satellite can be written as

T=2πR3GM...(2)T = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{{R}^{3}}{GM}} . . . \left(2\right)

Substitute the expression for the mass from equation (1) into equation (2) and simplify to obtain the expression for the required quantity.

{T=2πR3G43πR3d=2π34\piGd=12π24\piGd=3πGd⇒3πGd=T2\begin{cases}T & = & 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{{R}^{3}}{G\dfrac{4}{3}\pi{R}^{3}d}} \\ & = & 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{4\piGd}} \\ & = & \sqrt{\dfrac{12{\pi}^{2}}{4\piGd}} \\ & = & \sqrt{\dfrac{3\pi}{Gd}} \\ & ⇒ & \dfrac{3\pi}{Gd} = {T}^{2}\end{cases}
