T^2 = 4 pi^2 r^2/GM
Radius, r = (GM T^2/4 pi^2)^(1/3)
Radius of orbit, r = (6.99 x 10^7) + h
T = 9.84 x 3600 = 35424 sec
r = ((6.67 x 10^-11 x 1.90 x 10^27)(35424)^2/ 4 pi^2)^1/3
(6.99 x 10^7 + h) = 1.59 x 10^8
h = 8.92 x 10^7 m = 8.92 x 10^4 km

A synchronous satellite, which always remains above the same point on a planet's equator, is put in orbit around Jupiter to study that planet's famous red spot. Jupiter rotates once every 9.84 h. Use the following data to find the altitude of the satellite above the surface of the planet. Jupiter has a mass of 1.90 1027 kg, and a mean radius of 6.99 107 m. Answer must be in km
A synchronous satellite, which always remains above the same
point on a planet's equator, is put in orbit around Mars so that
scientists can study a surface feature. Mars rotates once every
24.6 h. Use the data of this table to find the altitude of the
satellite. Please show how you figured this out step by step!

A “synchronous” satellite, which always re- mains above the same point on a planet’s equator, is put in orbit about a planet similar to Jupiter. This planet rotates once every 9 . 6 h, has a mass of 1 . 9 × 10 27 kg and a radius of 6 . 99 × 10 7 m. Given that G = 6 . 67 × 10 − 11 N m 2 / kg 2 , calculate how far above Jupiter’s SURFACE...
