Hence angular velocity is independent of the distance from the centre of the disc. 9 C Gravitational force on the satellite (mass m) by the Earth (mass M) provides the centripetal force. 2 2 2 2 132 2 2 4 GMm mrr GMm mr Tr GMTr ω π π = =  =   Option A is incorrect: From the equation above, r is independent of the mass m of the satellite.
