Answer:
The height h is .
Explanation:
Case I: Lifting to height "r"
(1)
Where,
W₁=work done in lifting to height "r"
G=universal gravitational constant
M=mass of the earth
m=mass of the body
r=radius of the earth
h=height to which the body is raised
By placing"h=r" in equation (1) we get;
(2)
Case II: Lifting to height "h"
(3)
In the question, it is given that,
(4)
By putting W₁ and W₂ in equation (4) we get;
(5)
Hence, the height h is .
