To find the work done in taking an object of mass 1 kg from the surface of the Earth to a height equal to the radius of the Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the parameters - Mass of the object, \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \) - Mass of the Earth, \( M = 6 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg} \) - Radius of the Earth, \( R = 6400 \, \text{km} = 6400 \times 10^3 \, \text{m} = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \) - Gravitational constant, \( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2 \) ...
