Solution :
We know that :
Formula for Gravitational force is given by :
where, G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the bigger body
m is the mass of the smaller body
r is the distance between the two bodies.
And the formula for the centripetal force is given by :
where, m is the mass of the rotating body
v is the velocity
r is the radius of rotation of the body.
We know that mathematically, the gravitational force is equal to the centripetal force of the body.
Therefore,
Hence derived.
