Question 21

Suppose two planets (spherical in shape) of radii $$R$$ and $$2R$$, but mass $$M$$ and $$9M$$ respectively have a centre to centre separation $$8R$$ as shown in the figure. A satellite of mass $$m$$ is projected from the surface of the planet of mass $$M$$ directly towards the centre of the second planet. The minimum speed $$v$$ required for the satellite to reach the surface of the second planet is $$\sqrt{\frac{a}{7} \frac{GM}{R}}$$, then the value of $$a$$ is
[Given: The two planets are fixed in their position]
