2FCos45^{\circ}+F^{1}=\frac{M\mathrm{u}^{2}}{R}

F=\frac{GM^{2}}{(\sqrt{2}R)^{2}}      and F^{1}=\frac{GM^{2}}{4R^{2}}

=> \frac{2GM^{2}}{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}R)^{2}}+\frac{GM^{2}}{4R^{2}}=\frac{M\mathrm{u}^{2}}{R}

=> \frac{GM^{2}}{R}\:[\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]=M\mathrm{u}^{2}=> \mathrm{u}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}(\frac{\sqrt{2}+4}{4\sqrt{2}}})\\\mathrm{u}=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}(1+2\sqrt{2}})
