Transcribed Image Text:A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite orbiting the
Earth above a fixed point at the equator of the Earth. It is
known that the gravitational acceleration due to Earth at
a distance r from the center of the Earth varies according
to gr = gR R²/r². In this expression, R is the radius of the
Earth, R 6370 km, and gR is the gravitational
acceleration on the surface of the Earth, gr≈ 9.8 m/s².
Determine
"height"
a. the radius of a geosynchronous orbit in kilometers and in miles, and
b. the "height" of the satellite in the orbit from the surface of the Earth in miles.
