Communications satellite is in a synchronous orbit

Reference no: EM13651510

A communications satellite is in a synchronous orbit that is 3.6 x10⁷ m directly above the equator. The satellite islocated between two cities almost on the equator that are separatedby a distance of 4.8 x 10⁶ m. Find the time ittakes for a telephone call to go by way of satellite between these cities. Ignore the curvature of the earth.
