$A$ satellite of mass $m$ is circulating around the Earth with constant angular velocity. If the radius of the orbit is $R_0$ and the mass of the Earth is $M$,the angular momentum about the centre of the Earth is:

The orbit of a geostationary satellite is circular. The time period of the satellite depends on $(i)$ mass of the satellite,$(ii)$ mass of the earth,$(iii)$ radius of the orbit,and $(iv)$ height of the satellite from the surface of the earth.
