The radius of the circular path of a geostationary satellite was inadvertently made` deltar=1km` larger than the correct radius r = 42000 km Calculate the difference in angular peed of the satellite and the earth. If the satellite was exactly above a house on the equator on a particular day, what will be angular separation between the house and the satellite a year later?
