Homework Statement
What is the centripetal acceleration of a satellite orbiting Saturn at the location exactly one Saturn radius above the surface of Saturn
Homework Equations
Ac=v^2/r
In the previous question found out that the fg at that location is 1/4 of 36.0 N
The Attempt at a Solution
I read somewhere that they made centripetal acceleration equal to Gm/4pi ^2
But why?? How are those two linked?
