The mean radius of the earth is $R$,its angular speed on its own axis is $\omega$,and the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface is $g$. The cube of the radius of the orbit of a geostationary satellite will be

  • A
    $R^2g/\omega$
  • B
    $R^2\omega^2/g$
  • C
    $Rg/\omega^2$
  • D
    $R^2g/\omega^2$
