Question

A satellite is seen after every 6 hours over the equator. It is known that it rotates opposite to that of earth's direction. Then the angular velocity (in radians per hour) of the satellite about the centre of earth will be:

  1. pi over 2
  2. pi over 3
  3. pi over 4
  4. pi over 8

The correct answer is: pi over 4


    text  Let  end text omega subscript E equals text  angular velocity of earth,  end text omega subscript S equals text  angular velocity of satellite.  end text
text  Then,  end text 6 equals fraction numerator 2 pi over denominator open parentheses omega subscript E plus omega subscript S close parentheses end fraction not stretchy rightwards double arrow omega subscript E plus omega subscript S equals pi over 3
not stretchy rightwards double arrow omega subscript S equals pi over 3 minus pi over 12 open parentheses therefore omega subscript E equals fraction numerator 2 pi over denominator 24 end fraction equals pi over 12 text  rad per hour  end text close parentheses
omega subscript S equals pi over 4 text  radian per hour  end text
