I tried ur way and it doesn't work, after reading textbook, Etotal= -k, so I got it right with -2.7*10^33.
Another question:Two satellites are in geosynchronous orbit but in diametrically opposite positions. Into how much lower a circular orbit should one spacecraft descend if it is to catch up with the other after 10 complete orbits
I cant seem to get a number, I always get the answer with respect to radius.
