STATEMENT -1 : The orbital speed of geostationary satellite is nearly 3.1 km/s. STATEMENT -2 : The rotation of geostationary satellite around earth is from west to east. STATEMENT -3 : The total mechanical energy of an orbiting satellite is smaller than its kinetic energy.

The height of geostationary orbit above the surface of the earth is h. Radius of the earth is R. The earth shrinks to half its present radius (mass remaining unchanged). Now hat will be height of a geostationary satellite above the surface of the earth?
