oh okay got it now... so all I have to do is to find out the periods for both the satellites and then calculate the time difference to get the number of days, right?

Yeah it's 24 hours! :-p

okay

As Wikipedia states, the time period can be T = 2π √(r3/μ) What say??

The above formula is for geosynchronous as I found out... but the question tells about geostationary orbit...

Well, the formula to be applied can be... T2/R3 = (4 * π2) / (G * M) where M= 5.98x1024 kg i.e. the mass of the Earth. Would it help now??

Umm...would that help?? :/

Homework Statement A satellite GeoSAT is in a circular geostationary orbit of radius RG above a point P on the equator. Another satellite ComSAT is in a lower circular orbit of radius 0.81RG. At 7 P.M. on January 1, ComSAT is sighted directly above P. On which day among the following can ComSAT...

It plays most but sometime later doesn't play those that it had played a few days earlier! :P

Umm not exactly enorbet. I have thought of that as well. For example I played a DVD that came with a reputed tech magazine and it played well. But two weeks later when again I tried playing it, the player didn't run it! That was absurd. At first I thought of increasing the RAM, but I guessed...

And Greg, it's for my PC. The dvd drive is an ASUS one and I did not use it quite very often...but still, this is quite frustrating, you know?? :P

I think AlephZero is about right. No, my DVDs are not broken and they don't have any scratches, at least they are not visible. I really think my drive is failing. Meh!

Well, this is really bad. I have an ASUS DVD player and it gave really great service for about 5 years. But lately, it's behaving oddly. It can recognize some DVDs while it can't play some others! The green light on the drive goes on blinking and then eventually it goes off. The drivers are all...

Take a good look at the TVs on display and then choose what suits you best. Well, to be frank, the pictures do get washed out a bit, but it's up to you, what you want to choose! But sometimes it looks really great on bigger TVs!

Thanx well, we did the crane itself and won the first prize!
