The time period of a geostationary satellite is $\displaystyle 24$ h, at a height $\displaystyle 6 \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}$ ( $\displaystyle \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}$ is radius of earth) from surface of earth. The time period of another satellite whose height is $\displaystyle 2.5 \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}$ from surface will be :
Official answer
(1)
$\displaystyle 6 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~h}$
