- Find the radius R of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the Earth. (Note that R is measured from the center of the Earth, not the surface of the Earth.)
The universal gravitational constant G is 6.67×10−11Nm2/kg2.
The mass of the earth is 5.98×1024kg.
The radius of the earth is 6.38×106m.
- Relevant Equations
- r^3 = (G*Mass of Earth*T^2)/(4pi^2)
Using Kepler's Formula, I tried to solve for the answer but was told that it's incorrect.
