Ah i made the equation R=((G x M x T^2)/(4pi^2))^(1/3) That gets me the radius from the center of Mars to the Satellite, which i then subtracted the radius of Mars alone to find the distance from the surface. Does that make sense? I got a similar answer to the kids before me. -OH physics...

Ugh I'm completely lost. Newtons 2nd law would only be helpful if i had the mass of the satellite right?

hmm or should i do (24.8^2)/Radius^3=4(3.14)^2/GM

And what is angular speed? how do i find what angle the satellite is at?

Okay, i have a similar question to Sunny's. However i have to find the distance away in kilometers from the surface of Mars that a geosynchronous satellite must be placed in order to stay in the same place above the planet. What should i do? I'm confused on which equation would be the best...
