Problem

A particle is projected from point A, that is at a distance 4R4R from the centre of the Earth, with speed v1v_1 in a direction making 30∘30^\circ with the line joining the centre of the Earth and point A, as shown. If particle passes grazing the surface of the Earth, then the speed v1v_1 in m/s is 102P10\sqrt{2P}. Find value of P. Consider gravitational interaction only between these two. (use GMR=6.4×107 m2/s2\frac{GM}{R} = 6.4 \times 10^7 \text{ m}^2/\text{s}^2 )
