A body of mass m is placed on earth surface which is taken from earth's surface to a height of h = 3R, then changein gravitational potential energy is :

Answer»

`(1)/(4)` MG R
`(3)/(4)` mg R
`(2)/(3)` mg R
`(1)/(2)` mg R.

Solution :When a body is taken to a height n times the radius of earth from the surface of earth then change in potential energy `=(n)/(n+1)mgR`.
`therefore DeltaU=(3)/(3+1)mgR rArr DeltaU=(3)/(4)mgR`.
Thus correct CHOICE is (B).
