A body of mass m is placed on the Earth's surface. It is then taken from the Earth's surface to a height h = 3R, then the change in the gravitational potential energy is :
- \(\frac{\mathrm{mgh}}{\mathrm{R}}\)
- \(\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{mgR}\)
- \(\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{mgR}\)
- \(\frac{m g R}{2}\)
Answer
(C) 3 4 mgR
