Body positioned in order to be in the synchronous orbit


i) Assume that a satellite is in a circular orbit at a height of around 2.00 x10^6 m above the surface of earth. Find out the speed of a satellite in the orbit?

ii) A synchronous orbit around the Earth is obtained if the period of the orbit is similar as the length of the day. When the length of an Earth day is 24 hours and the radius of the Earth is around 6.37 x 10^6 m, determine how high above the Earth’s surface in m must a body be positioned in order to be in the synchronous orbit?
