A communications satellite is in a synchronous orbit that is 3.09×107m directly above the equator. The satellite is located midway between Quito, Equador, and Belem, Brazil, two cities almost on the equator that are separated by a distance of 3.48×106m. Calculate the time it takes for a telephone call to go by way of satellite between these cities. Ignore the curvature of the earth.
