PhysicsNEET 2019Gravitational potential and potential energy

Gravitation

The work done to raise a mass $m$ from the surface of the earth to a height $h$ , equal to the radius of the earth, is:

A. $m g R$
B. $2 m g R$
C. $\frac{1}{2} m g R$ ✓
D. $\frac{3}{2} m g R$

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
