A satellite revolving in a circular equatorial orbit of radius R =2.00-104 km from west to east

Question:

A satellite revolving in a circular equatorial orbit of radius R =2.00-104 km from west to east appears over a certain point at the equator every τ = 11.6 hours. Using these data, calculate the mass of the Earth. The gravitational constant is supposed to be known.
