Two satellites revolve around a planet in coplanar circular orbits in an anticlockwise direction. Their periods of revolution are $1\, h$ and $8\, h$ respectively. The radius of the orbit of the nearer satellite is $2 \times 10^{3}\, km$. The angular speed of the farther satellite as observed from the nearer satellite at the instant when both the satellites are closest is $\frac{\pi}{x}\, rad\, h^{-1}$ where $x$ is ..... .
