Minimum work done to shift a body of mass m from a circular orbit of 2R to a higher orbit of radius 3R around the earth (R = Radius of earth):

Answer»

`(GM m)/(12R)`
`(GMm)/(6R)`
`(GMm)/(4R)`
`(GMm)/(8R)`

Solution :WORK DONE = INCREASE in P.E.
`=(-GMm)/(3R)+(GMm)/(2R)=(GMm)/(6R)`
Thus correct choice is (B).
