A satellite in a circular low Earth orbit has an orbital speed of 7.60 km/s7.60 \text{ km/s}7.60 km/s at an orbital radius of 6800 km6800 \text{ km}6800 km. Find its centripetal acceleration in units of Earth-radii per day squared (RE/day2R_E/\text{day}^2RE​/day2). (Take RE≈6371 kmR_E \approx 6371 \text{ km}RE​≈6371 km and 1 day=86,400 s1 \text{ day} = 86,400 \text{ s}1 day=86,400 s)
