Question

An artificial satellite circles the Earth in a circular orbit at a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 8.26 m/s2. Determine the orbital period of the satellite.
v^2/r = 8.26

F/m = local g = G M/r^2 = 8.26

6.67*10^-11 * Mass earth/r^2 = 8.26
solve that for r

then
v^2 = 8.26 r
solve for v

v T = 2 pi r
T = 2 pi r/v
