A satellite in orbit around the earth is at an altitude of 107 percent of the earth's radius. Rounding off our old friend "g" to ten meters per second squared, what is the acceleration due to earth's gravity at the satellite?

A geosynchronous orbit is one in which the satellite stays in the same relative position above the earth, as the earth rotates. To do so, the satellite needs to have an orbital period of 1 day. Given that the moon has an orbital period of 27.3 days and a semi-major axis of 384,000 km, determine the radius of a geosynchronous orbit using Kepler's 3rd law. Enter your answer in km.
