Two satellites $$A$$ and $$B$$ revolve round the same planet in coplanar circular orbits lying in the same plane. Their periods of revolutions are $$1 \mathrm{~h}$$ and $$8 \mathrm{~h}$$, respectively. The radius of the orbit of $$A$$ is $$10^4 \mathrm{~km}$$. The speed of $$B$$ is relative to $$A$$. When they are closed in $$\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$$ is

Two satellites $$S_1$$ and $$S_2$$ are revolving round a planet in coplanar circular orbits of radii $$r_1$$ and $$r_2$$ in the same direction, respectively. Their respective periods of revolution are $$1 \mathrm{~h}$$ and $$8 \mathrm{~h}$$. The radius of orbit of satellite $$S_1$$ is equal to $$10^4 \mathrm{~km}$$. What will be their relative speed (in $$\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$$) when they are closest?
