A body of mass m taken from the earth's surface to the height equal to twice the radius (R) of the earth. The change in potential energy of body will be

  • mg2R

  • 23 mgR

  • 3 mgR

  • 13 mgR


B.

23 mgR

Change in potential energy  U = - GMmR + 2R - - GMmR         = - GMm3R + GMmR         = 2GMm3R = 23 mgR            g = GMR2
