Question: Space X constructed a satellite that is expected to revolve ( circle ) around the earth 9 . 5 times every 2 4 . 7

Space X constructed a satellite that is expected to revolve (circle) around the earth 9.5 times every 24.7 hours. The satellite is expected to travel in a uniform circular motion above the earth. Calculate the altitude above the earth's surface that the satellite resides.
Assume the following:
The radius of earth : 6371000m
The Mass of the earth: 5.97 X 10^24 kg
The gravitational constant (G) : 6.67*10^-11(N*m*m/kg*kg)
