5. A 1-kg satellite orbits the earth at a distance of 8,000 km from its center. Classical mechanics reminds us that the force of gravity is given by Fg = G m M / r² and the speed of a circular orbit is given by v = (GM/r) 1/2. Earth's mass is 6x1024 kg. ('G' is given above). Using Bohr's assumption of quantized angular momentum (L = mvr = n h/2π) calculate this satellite's orbital 'stationary' state, n, due to gravitation.
