Geosynchronous satellites orbit the earth at a distance of


Geosynchronous satellites orbit the Earth at a distance of 4.217 × 107 m from the Earth's center. Their angular speed at this height is the same as the rotation rate of the Earth, so they appear stationary at certain locations in the sky. What is the weight of a 1750-kg satellite at this distance? (The period of Earth's rotation is 23 days 56 minutes and 4 seconds.)
