Gravitation
Earth if the Satellite weighs 500kg and is 200km above the Earth’s
surface. (Circular Motion)
At what height will the satellite need to orbit, if it is to remain
approximately fixed above the Earth’s surface?

Weight and height of satellite are irrelevant. You need the mass of the Earth.
Look up Kepler's 3rd Law and geostationary orbits.
Answer is about a radius of 42000 km - about 36000km above surface.
