3. An unknown planet (mass is equal to 4.26 x 10^24 kg) is orbiting around the sun (mass of the sun is equal to 6.623703×1035kg). Knowing that the gravitational force between the unknown planet and the sun is (5.18 x 10^9)N, is the unknown planet nearer or farther to the sun compared to earth? (earth's distance to sun is 1 AU) Express your answer in terms of astronomical units or AU (1AU = 1.496 x 108 km). Assuming that the sun is fixated at a center point, calculate the area (in of the unknown planet's orbit (assume that the orbit is circle).

34. A geosynchronous satellite appears to “hover” stationary directly above a particular point on the Earth’s equator. In order to achieve this the period of the orbit must match the sidereal period of Earth’s rotation, which is 23 hours 56 minutes. Solve for the altitude and speed of such a satellite. (Can only use Newton's 3 laws of motion and the law of gravity where Fg=G(M1M2)/r^2 and g=GM/r^2. You can also use the uniform circular motion formulas for speed and acceleration.)
