Taking the speed of the radio signal as 3×108 meters per second, calculate the time taken for a signal to reach a GPS receiver from a GPS satellite at a position 20000 km distant from the receiver. Assume that the speed of the signal is unchanged over the whole path length. Express your answer in milliseconds.
