Determine the true weight of the satellite

Reference no: EM13328407

A satellite has a mass of 5825 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.34 × 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit is 2.3 hours. The radius of the planet is 4.81 × 106 m. What would be the true weight of the satellite if it were at rest on the planet's surface?
