A man is positioned in a circular orbit at a height of 1.6xx10^(5) m above the surface of the earth. The radius of the earth is 6.37xx10^6 m and the mass is 5.98xx10^(24) kg. What would be the orbital speed of the man ? (G=6.67xx10^(-11)N*m^2*kg^(-2))

As you have learnt in the text ,a geostationary satellite orbits the earth at a height of nearly 36000 km from the surface of the earth. What is the potential due to earth's gravity at the site of this satellite? (Take the potential energy at infinity to be zero.) Mass of the earth= 6.0xx10^(24)kg , radius =6400 km.
