Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Kinetics of Particles: Problem 3_61

3/61 Determine the altitude \(h\) (in kilometers) above the surface of the earth at which a satellite in a circular orbit has the same period, 23.9344 h, as the earth’s absolute rotation. If such an orbit lies in the equatorial plane of the earth, it is said to be geosynchronous, because the satellite does not appear to move relative to an earth-fixed observer.
