What is the work done in taking an object of mass 1kg from the surface of the earth to a height equal to the radius of the earth? ( G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) Nm^2//kg^2 , Radius of the earth =6400km, Mass of the earth = 6 xx 10^24 kg.)

If .g. is acceleration due to gravity on the earth.s surface, then the gain in PE of an object of mass .m. raised from the surface of the earth to a height equal to the radius R of the earth is
