To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 2STP
Option D.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The satellite is orbiting around the planet. The satellite’s orbit radius is
Formula used:
The velocity of the object orbiting around another object of mass
Where,
Calculation:
The value of gravitational constant is,
Then using the given values of velocity of the satellite and its orbital radius in SI units, the mass of the planet around which the satellites orbits, is given by,
Conclusion:
Thus, the mass of the planet around which the satellites orbits, is
