3. A satellite has a mass of 5890 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.20 x 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit is 2.45 hours. The radius of the planet is 4.40 x 106 m. What would be the true weight of the satellite if it were at rest on the planet's surface? (G = 6.67 x 10-¹1 N.m²/kg²)
