Two satellites of masses 'm' and '2m' are revolving in a circular orbit of radius 'r', around the earth. The ratio of their frequencies of revolution will be
  1. $1: 3$
  2. $1: 2$
  3. $1: 1$
  4. $2: 1$

Solution

The period or frequency of revolution of a satellite does not depend on its mass. Hence it is same for both.
