Let m1 and m2 be masses of satellites P1 and P2.

If M is mass of the earth, then

GMm1/R^2=m1v1^2/R OR

GM/R=v1^2 OR

v1=(GM/R)^1/2……..(1)

Similarly,for P2 satellite,

v2=(GM/4R)^1/2………..(2)

Then, linear velocity of P2 relative to P1 is v2-v1.

When both satellites will be nearest to each other,

angular velocity of the line joining them will be maximum. This maximum angular velocity will be

w( max)=(v2-v1)/3R= (GM)^1/2[ (1/4R)^1/2-(1/R)^1/2]/3R and for maximum distance of 5R between them

w(min.)=(GM)^1/2 [ (1/4R)^1/2-(1/R)^1/2]/5R. Then,

w(max)/w(min)=1/3R/(1/5R)=5/3
