$A$ satellite is revolving around a planet in a circular orbit close to its surface. Let $\rho$ be the mean density and $R$ be the radius of the planet. Then the period of the satellite is ($G=$ universal constant of gravitation).

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \pi}{\rho G}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{\rho G}}$
  • C
