The radius of the earth is 6.371 x 10^6 m and its mass is about 5.972 x 10^24 kg. Calculate the gravitational force on a satellite of mass 650 kg in a geosynchronous orbit above the earth. Hint: Geosynchronous satellites are in circular orbits with speeds such that they rotate around the earth in 24 hours. Use uniform circular motion to determine the centripetal acceleration.
