Problem

Two satellites P and Q are moving in different circular orbits around the Earth (radius RR). The heights of P and Q from the Earth surface are hPh_P and hQh_Q, respectively, where hP=R/3h_P = R/3. The accelerations of P and Q due to Earth's gravity are gPg_P and gQg_Q, respectively. If gP/gQ=36/25g_P/g_Q = 36/25, what is the value of hQh_Q? (A) 3R/53R/5 (B) R/6R/6 (C) 6R/56R/5 (D) 5R/65R/6
