Energy required in moving a body of mass m from a distance 2R to 3R from centre of earth of mass M is

Answer»

`(GMM)/(12 R^(2))`
`(GMm)/(3R^(2))`
`(GMm)/(8R)`
`(GMm)/(4R)`

Solution :Change in potential energy in DISPLACING a body from `r_(1)` to `r_(2)` is GIVEN by
`DeltaU=GMm[(1)/(r_(1))-(1)/(r_(2))]=GMm((1)/(2R)-(1)/(4R))=(GMm)/(4R)`
