Problem

Two identical satellites orbit two different planets. Planet A has mass MM and radius RR. Planet B has mass 2M2M and radius 2R2R. Both satellites orbit at an altitude h=Rh = R above their respective planet's surface. Compare the time periods TAT_{A} and TBT_{B} by finding the ratio TA/TBT_{A} / T_{B}.
