geosynchronous satellite with mass 1500 kg orbits the Earth in a circle.  The satellite is 42,260 km from Earth's center, or 35,880 km above Earth's surface.  NASA wants to reposition this satellite so that it has a period of 48 hours, with a circular orbit.  Draw a picture of Earth and the satellite, and then draw a free-body diagram for the satellite.  At what orbital radius from the center of the Earth would this satellite need to be to have a period of 48 hours?
