To calculate the gravitational intensity and gravitational potential at a height of 4 times the radius of the Earth, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Radius of the Earth, \( R_e = 6400 \, \text{km} = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \) - Height above the Earth's surface, \( h = 4R_e = 4 \times 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} = 25.6 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \) - Total distance from the center of the Earth, \( r = R_e + h = 6.4 \times 10^6 + 25.6 \times 10^6 = 32 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \) - Gravitational constant, \( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2 \) - Mass of the Earth, \( M_e = 6 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg} \) ...
