Here's the derivation first
Centripetel force balanced by gravitational force
v^2=GM/r
v=(GM/r)1/2
r=R+h
v=(GM/R+h)^1/2
So this is the derivation
Now coming to the question

(GM/R+h)^1/2
h<<R
(GM/R)^1/2
Now plug in the values of G,M,R to get the answer
To make it more simpler
put GM=gR^2
and get the equation simplified to
v=(gr)^1/2
Hope it helps
:)
