Problem: Your phone rings one night and on the other line is a man claiming need to need your help. There has been another oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the U.S Government needs a satellite in orbit tomorrow to monitor the development of its large oil slick. The satellite will need to stay above the gulf at all times and it must contain 50kg of optical equipment, 20kg of communication equipment and 60 kg of solar power equipment. NASA is going to launch a satellite in 1 hour and when it gets to orbit the man wants you to have an orbit designed for it.

I know the equation your suppose to use is Fg=Gm1m2/r^2 but im having a hard time setting it up.
Any help will be appreciated :)
