The mass and radius of earth are 6×10^24 kg and 6400 km . What will be the potential energy of a 200 kg body placed at a height of 600 km from earth's surface ?

  • -3
G=6.67*10^-11 N m2  kg-2
Me=6*10^24 kg
m=200 kg
Re=6*10^5 m
h=6.4*10^6 m
Since we know that, U= -(G*Me*m)/(Re+h)
                                  U= -1.143*10^10 J
