To solve the problem, we need to find the speed of the satellite and its time period. Let's break it down step by step. ### Given Data: - Height of the satellite (h) = 600 km = 600,000 m - Radius of the Earth (R) = 6400 km = 6,400,000 m - Mass of the Earth (M) = \(6 \times 10^{24}\) kg - Gravitational constant (G) = \(6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2\) ...
