Radius of orbit , r = 36,000 Km
Distance travelled by satellite to complete one orbit = circumference of the orbit = 2πr
= 2 × 22/7 × 36,000 = 226285.7 km
Time , t = 24 hr
therefore, Linear velocity of satellite = Distance / Time
= 226285.7 km/ 24h
= 9428.57 Km h ^ -1
= 9428.57 / 3600
= 2.62 km s ^ -1
