The changes in potential energy when a body of massmis raised to a heightnRfrom earth's surface is (R=radius of the earth)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Change in potential energy

            ∆U=U2-U1

∴        ∆U=-GMmR+nR+GMmR

or       ∆U=-GMmR1+n+GMmR

or       ∆U=GMmR-11+n+1

or       ∆U=R2gmR×n(1+n)             ∴g=GMR2 

or       ∆U=mgRnn+1
