A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours iscalled a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronous satellite isin an equatorial orbit, its position appears stationary withrespect to a ground station, and it is known as a geostationarysatellite.
Find the radius of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite thatcircles the earth. (Note that is measured from the center of theearth, not the surface.) You may use the following constants:
The universal gravitational constant is . 6.67 x 10^-11 N *m^2/kg^2
The mass of the earth is . 5.98 x 10^24 kg
The radius of the earth is . 6.38 x 10^6 m
