$A$ remote-sensing satellite of Earth revolves in a circular orbit at a height of $0.25 \times 10^6 \, m$ above the surface of Earth. If Earth's radius is $6.38 \times 10^6 \, m$ and $g = 9.8 \, m s^{-2}$,then the orbital speed of the satellite is ...... $km s^{-1}$.

$A$ satellite revolving around the earth at a certain height experiences acceleration due to gravity equal to $\frac{16}{49} g_0$,where $g_0$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface. If $R$ is the radius of earth,then the square of time period of the satellite's revolution is equal to $K\left[\frac{\pi^2 R^3}{G M}\right]$. The value of $K$ is
