One satellite is in orbit at height of 850.0 km above the earths surface. How long in minutes does it take this satellite to orbit earth?

dont forget to rate please!, also tell me where i lack since this is my first answering
iam assuming t as timeperiod for satellite to complete one revolution around earth
since the satellite revolves at a heght h
the gravitational force provides the necessary centripetal force
thus
GMm/d^2 = mv^2/d
GM/d=v^2 here d= radius of earth + the height of satellite from surface of earth
GM/R+h =v^2 sub values get the value of velocity then
use 2*pie*d= v *t ( circumference of the orbiatl path)
so u get teh value of t anywyas are u a jee aspirant? iam so pls dont forget to vote that will motivate me :)

GM for earth = 4e14 Nm²/ kg
R = (6371+ 800)*1e3 = 7.171e6 m
V = √ [GM/r] = √ [4e14/ 7.171e6]
T = 2πR/ V = 2π * (7.171e6) ^1.5 / √ 4e14
T = 6033 s = 100.5 minutes
