- Given below are two statements: Statement I: A satellite is moving around earth in an orbit very close to the earth surface. The time period of revolution of satellite depends upon the density of earth.
Statement II: The time period of revolution of the satellite is \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{R_e}{g}} \] (for satellite very close to the earth surface), where \(R_e\) is the radius of earth and \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.- JEE Main - 2026

Net gravitational force at the center of a square is found to be \( F_1 \) when four particles having masses \( M, 2M, 3M \) and \( 4M \) are placed at the four corners of the square as shown in figure, and it is \( F_2 \) when the positions of \( 3M \) and \( 4M \) are interchanged. The ratio \( \dfrac{F_1}{F_2} = \dfrac{\alpha}{\sqrt{5}} \). The value of \( \alpha \) is
