134 Example 6.15: Locating a Geostationary satellite Communication satellites appear to hover over one point on the earth s equator. A satellite that appears to remain stationary as the earth rotates is said to be in a geostationary orbit. What is the radius of the orbit of such a satellite? PREPARE For the satellite to remain stationary with respect to the earth, the satellite s orbital period must be 24 hours; in seconds this is T = s.

135 Example 6.15: Locating a Geostationary satellite SOLVE We solve for the radius of the orbit by rearranging the equation for the period, T 2

136 Example 6.15: Locating a Geostationary satellite SOLVE We solve for the radius of the orbit by rearranging the equation for the period, T 2

137 Example 6.15: Locating a Geostationary satellite SOLVE We solve for the radius of the orbit by rearranging the equation for the period, T 2 The mass at the center of the orbit is the earth:
