Chapter 4, Problem 19P

The astronaut orbiting the Earth in Figure P4.19 is preparing to dock with a Westar VI satellite. The satellite is in a circular orbit 600 km above the Earth’s surface, where the free-fall acceleration is 8.21 m/s2. Take the radius of the Earth as 6.400 km. Determine the speed of the satellite and the time interval required to complete one orbit around the Earth, which is the period of the satellite.
