Question
A satellite moves eastwards very near the surface of the earth in the equatorial plane of the earth with speed v₀ . Another satellite moves at the same height with the same speed in the equatorial plane but westwards. If R = radius of the earth about its own axis, then the difference in the two time period as observed on the earth will be approximately equal to

4πRv₀/R²ω⁴-v₀²
4πRv₀/R²ω²-v₀²
4πRv₀/R²ω²+v₀²
2πRv₀/R²ω²+v₀²
Answer :
4πRv₀/R²ω²-v₀²
