What is the radius of a communications satellite’s orbital path that is in a uniform circular orbit around Earth and has a perio

d of exactly 24.0 hours (86,400 seconds). (Measurement is from the center of Earth.) G = 6.67 × 10-11 N.m2/kg2 ME = 5.98 × 1024 kg 1 hr = 3,600 s

If the period of a satellite is T=24 h = 86400 s that means it is in geostationary orbit around Earth. That means that the force of gravity Fg and the centripetal force Fcp are equal:

Fg=Fcp

m*g=m*(v²/R),
 
where m is mass, v is the velocity of the satelite and R is the height of the satellite and g=G*(M/r²), where G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance from the satellite. 

Masses cancel out and we have:

G*(M/r²)=v²/R, R=r so:

G*(M/r)=v²

r=G*(M/v²), since v=ωr it means v²=ω²r² and we plug it in,

r=G*(M/ω²r²),

r³=G*(M/ω²), ω=2π/T, it means ω²=4π²/T² and we plug that in:

r³=G*(M/(4π²/T²)), and finally we take the third root to get r:

r=∛{(G*M*T²)/(4π²)}=4.226*10^7 m= 42 260 km which is the height of a geostationary satellite.
