Randall D. Knight β Newton's Theory of Gravity: Problem 24
Three satellites orbit a planet of radius \(R\), as shown in FIGURE EX13.24. Satellites \(S_1\) and \(S_3\) have mass \(m\). Satellite \(S_2\) has mass \(2m\). Satellite \(S_1\) orbits in 250 minutes and the force on \(S_1\) is 10,000 N. a. What are the periods of \(S_2\) and \(S_3\)? b. What are the forces on \(S_2\) and \(S_3\)? c. What is the kinetic-energy ratio \(K_1/K_3\) for \(S_1\) and \(S_3\)?
