If the mass of earth is M, radius R and G is universal gravitational constant then the workdone against gravity to move a body of mass 1 kg from the surface of earth to infinity will be

Answer»

`sqrt((GM)/(2R))`
`(GM)/R`
`sqrt((2GM)/R)`
`(GM)/(2R)`

Solution :`implies` The POTENTIAL energy of 1 kg weight on the surface of earth .
`=(-GM)/(R)`
at INFINITY = 0
work = change in potential energy =` (GM)/R`
