A geosynchcronous satellite is one that stays above the same
point on the Earth, that is it rotates with the same angular
velocity than Earth. This is possible only if the satellite is
above a point on the equator. Determine:
a) The height above the Earth's surface such satellite must
orbit?
b) What is the satellite speed?
c) If the satellite is orbiting 200 km above Earth, what is the satellite speed?
( Remember G=6.67x10-11 N m2/kg2, MEarth = 5.98x1024 Kg, REarth = 6380 km)

Find the height H of a geosynchronous satellite above the surface of the earth. You may well want to find the radius of the orbit R first. You may use the following constants: The universal gravitational constant G is 6.67×10−11Nm2/kg2. The mass of the earth is 5.98×1024kg. The mass of the satellite is 2.10×102kg. The radius of the earth is 6.38×106m. Give the height of the orbit above the surface in km to three significant digits.
