Problem

An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit around the earth with a speed equal to half the magnitude of escape velocity from the surface of earth. RR is the radius of earth and gg is acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth. (R=6400R=6400 km) The time period of revolution of satellite in the given orbit is (A) 2π2Rg2\pi\sqrt{\frac{2R}{g}} (B) 2π4Rg2\pi\sqrt{\frac{4R}{g}} (C) 2π8Rg2\pi\sqrt{\frac{8R}{g}} (D) 2π6Rg2\pi\sqrt{\frac{6R}{g}}
