Hi TSny, I'm not so sure about this, but should I have calculated the orbital distance as x + radius of earth, or x+6416000? So, ((G)(MEarth))/(REarth+x)2 = ((x+REarth)^2)/(REarth+x) ((G)(MEarth))/(REarth+x)2 = (x+REarth) ((G)(MEarth)) = (x+REarth)3 ((G)(MEarth))(1/3) = (x+REarth)3)(1/3)...

Hello, I had a bit of trouble figuring out this problem: 1. Homework Statement Given the following, determine the distance in miles above the Earth's surface of a geosynchronous satellite. MEarth=5.98E24 kg REarth=4,000 miles 1 mile=1604 m Homework Equations Fg=(Gm1m2)/r2 FC=(mv2)/r The...
