$A$ $10\; kg$ satellite circles Earth once every $2\; hours$ in an orbit having a radius of $8000\; km$. Assuming that Bohr's angular momentum postulate applies to satellites just as it does to an electron in the hydrogen atom, find the quantum number of the orbit of the satellite.

  • A
    $5.3 \times 10^{45}$
  • B
    $6.1 \times 10^{42}$
  • C
    $4.9 \times 10^{40}$
  • D
    $7.1 \times 10^{48}$
