Radius R of earth = 6.371 × 106 m
If the satellite is at a distance h = 2000 km above earth surface , then centripetal force is calculated as
![begin mathsize 14px style m space fraction numerator v squared over denominator R plus h end fraction space equals space G space fraction numerator M space space m over denominator left parenthesis R plus h right parenthesis squared end fraction end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/5ed7fff6144616e4e38100260293f092.png)
where m is mass of satellite , v is speed of satellite in its orbit , G is universal gravitational constant and
M is mass of earth
from above expression , we get
![begin mathsize 14px style v space equals space square root of fraction numerator G space M over denominator left parenthesis R plus h right parenthesis end fraction end root space equals space square root of fraction numerator 6.674 space cross times 10 to the power of negative 11 end exponent cross times 5.972 cross times 10 to the power of 24 over denominator 8.371 cross times 10 to the power of 6 end fraction end root space equals space 6900 space m divided by s end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/1ff2b8c1e96c652526eefc267245307b.png)
