Consider a satellite in a circular geostationary orbit about the Earth, meaning it orbits above a fixed point on the Earth's equator.
You may use the following values in your calculations:
- Mass of the Earth, M is 6.0x1024kg;
- Gravitational constant G, is 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2
- Radius of the Earth, r is 6400 km or 6.4 x 106 m. At what distance from the centre of the Earth does the satellite orbit?
