Homework Statement
Find the period of a satellite that is in orbit 6.7×10^6 meters from the center of the earth?
Homework Equations
P^2=R^3 P=period and R=average distance
The Attempt at a Solution
so far I have tried P^2=(6.7×10^6)^3
then sqrt of (P^2)=sqrt of (3.00763×10^20)
My answer is the period of the satellite=1.73425×10^10
I'm pretty sure my answer is way off, please describe how to get the correct answer.
