[QUOTE="SteamKing, post: 5321864, member: 301881"] What's the deal with this equation? You basically have written GM/r[SUP]2[/SUP] = r. That doesn't make sense. What happened to the orbital period of the satellite? Only a desperate man takes the absolute value of something which is wrong, hoping to make it right. Draw a sketch of the problem, and then apply your formulas. What's the formula for the velocity of an object traveling a circular path of radius R and period T? What's the R for a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit? Remember, the satellite must orbit the [B]entire earth[/B], you know, center and all. [/QUOTE]
