a

The length of a Geostationary satellite which is a vertical uniform rigid rod with its one end very close to planet’s surface is 2(31)R

b

Ignoring the gravitational interaction between the elements of the satellite, if the rod is suddenly stopped and released, then immediately after release (just before collision with earth), the ratio of tension in the rod at the points of trisection (closer point to earth to farther point to earth) is 54

c

The length of a Geostationary satellite which is a vertical uniform rigid rod with its one end very close to planet’s surface is R

d

Gravitational force of attraction between planet (M) and satellite (m) is F=GMmR(R+l)

answer is B, C, D.

Detailed Solution

Gravitational force of attraction between planet (M) and satellite (m) can be depicted as  F=GMmR(R+l)
Satellite is in pure rotation about centre of earth so F=macm can be applied for satellite
GMmR(R+l)=m(R+l2)ω2...................(1)

Further

geqgpole=23  gRω2g=23 ω2=g3R             ω2=GM3R3......................(2) (1) & (2) R(R+l)(R+l2)=3R3

Solving the quadratic in l, we get  l=R

C,D are points of transaction (C: near, D: far)
Tension at  C=T1, tension at D=T2 . Acceleration of all parts of Rod is same and  from  previous question can be calculated as (R+l2)ω2=3R2GM3R3=GM2R2

So for F.B.D of AC,

GMm/3R(R+l3)T1=m3(GM2R2)

  T1=GMm3(34R212R2)=GMm12R2

So for F.B.D of AD,

GM(2m/3)R(R+2l3)T2   =(2m3)(GM2R2)   T2   =GM(2m)3[35R212R2]=GMm15R2   T1T2=54
