Question:
The shuttle orbiter A is in a circular orbit of altitude 200 mi, while spacecraft B is in a geosynchronous circular orbit of altitude 22,300 mi. Determine the acceleration of B relative to a nonrotating observer in shuttle A. Use g0 = 32.23 ft/sec2 for the surface-level gravitational acceleration and R = 3959 mi for the radius of the earth.
