ANSWER
The gravitational potential energy at a height h is
U
h
=
R
e
+h
−GM
e
m
If h=R
e
⇒U
h
=
+2R

& the gravitational potential energy on the surface of earth is
U
s
=
R
e
−GM
e

So change in potential energy △U=U
h
−U
s
=

It means that to move a body of a mass m from the surface of earth to a height h=R
e
, the energy required is
