Answer:
98.13 minutes
Explanation:
Given data:
Radius of the earth = 6800km.
Hence, Total radius of satellite orbit = 7048 km (6800+248) or 7048000m.
orbital period can be determine as
[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gme}}[/tex]
where,
r = orbital radius,
m = mass of earth
and Ge = gravitational constant.
putting all value in above equation
[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{(7.048\times 10^6)^3}{(6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.97\times 10^24)}}[/tex]
[tex]= 6.28\times \frac{350.11}{39.82} \times 10^5[/tex]
[tex]= 58.88\times 10^2 [/tex]
= 5888 sec
= 98.13 minutes
