Part A

Determine the radius of its circular orbit.

Express your answer using three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

at height h as the radius of the earth is R radius of the orbit=R+h =r

now T= 6580=2X3.14XSQRT(r/g')

so findout g' at the height and then substituting in the above expresion we get the answer.

the magnitude of the Earth's gravitational force on the satellite=6.67X10e-11Xmass of the earthX 5600/r2
