Respuesta :

The formula for the gravitational force between two bodies is given as

[tex]F=\frac{GmM}{r^2}[/tex]

*Here m is the mass of the first object

*Here M is the mass of the second object

*Here r is the distance between the two objects

*Here G is the gravitational force

The force exerted by the earth on the satellite is equal to the force exerted by the satellite on the earth. Hence, the correct option is (b)
