What is the apparent weight of a satellite

Reference no: EM13326303

Communications satellites are placed in a circular orbit where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth rotates. These are called geosynchronous orbits. The altitude of a geosynchronous orbit is 3.58×107m(?22,000miles)

Find the value of g at this altitude.
