Satellite A orbits the earth at a height 3.00 times the earth's radius. Satellite B orbits the earth at a height 2.00 times the earth's radius. What is the ratio of the period of Satellite B to the period of Satellite A?

A) 1 to √ (3/2) ^3

B) 1 to 3√ (3/2) ^2

C) 1 to √ (2/3) ^3

D) 1 to 3√ (2/3) ^2

The "3√" represents a cubic root

I think the answer is B, but I am not sure

The correct answer to this question is this one: " B) 1 to 3√ (3/2) ^2 "

The fact that Satellite A orbits the earth at a height 3.00 times the earth's radius and Satellite B orbits the earth at a height 2.00 times the earth's radius. The ratio of the of the period of Satellite B to the period of Satellite A is 1 : 3√ (3/2) ^2
