Chapter 13, Problem 114P
A communications satellite is in a circular orbit above the earth such that it always remains directly over a point on the earth’s surface. As a result, the period of the satellite must equal the rotation of the earth, which is approximately 24 hours. Determine the satellite’s altitude h above the earth’s surface and its orbital speed.
