To solve the problem of finding the work required to lift a body of mass \( m \) by a height \( h \) above the surface of the Earth, we will consider two cases based on the given heights. ### Given: - Mass of the body: \( m \) - Radius of the Earth: \( R_e \) - Gravitational constant: \( g = \frac{G M_e}{R_e^2} \) (where \( M_e \) is the mass of the Earth) ### Part (i): \( h = \frac{R_e}{1000} \) ...
