Explanation:
The force of gravity acting on the satellite is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
is the Earth's mass
m is the mass of the satellite
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre
Here we have
m = 700 kg
Substituting into the equation, we find:
<em>Note that the distance mentioned in the problem (2.4 x 10^6 meters) is not realistic, since it is less than the radius of the Earth (6.37 x 10^6 meters).</em>
