Answer #1

FFrom the last expression of the time period , we see that time period does not depend on the mass of the satellite. So, so, if orbital distance is same then, orbital period would be same for all satellite with different mass.

So, orbital period for 1200 kg or 13 00 kg would be 1.4 hr   Ans
