Assume the world of Neopia is a spherical planet with a diameter of 1600 km with a uniform density of 5200 kilograms per cubic metre. If the moon of Kreludor is in a geostationary orbit around Neopia, and assuming a Neopian sidereal day is exactly 24 hours, how far is that geostationary orbit above the surface of Neopia?

  1. 41,270 km.

    (I think the point of the original source is for *you* to work it out, not post endless copies in a forum like this)


  2. Do you know how many times this has been posted? (>30, certainly).

    Why not search for the question before posting it...

    ADDED: and its not a riddle - its a math question.

    A riddle would suggest something that is a bit freaky - this is a simple matter of basic algebra and equating gravitational and centripetal forces - how is that a riddle?
