JEE Physics Practice Question

Two satellites $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ are moving in different circular orbits around the Earth (radius $R$ ). The heights of $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ from the Earth surface are $h_{\mathrm{P}}$ and $h_{\mathrm{Q}}$, respectively, where $h_{\mathrm{P}}=R / 3$. The accelerations of $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ due to Earth's gravity are $g_{\mathrm{P}}$ and $g_{\mathrm{Q}}$, respectively. If $g_{\mathrm{P}} / g_{\mathrm{Q}}=36 / 25$, what is the value of $h_{\mathrm{Q}}$ ?

  1. A.$3 R / 5$
  2. B.$R / 6$
  3. C.$6 R / 5$
  4. D.$5 R / 6$
