7.Gravitation
medium
The work done to raise a mass $\mathrm{m}$ from the surface of the earth to a height $\mathrm{h}$, which is equal to the radius of the earth, is
A
$\mathrm{mgR}$
B
${2} \mathrm{mgR}$
C
$\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mgR}$
D
$\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{mgR}$
(NEET-2019)
Solution
$\mathrm{W}=\frac{\mathrm{mgh}}{1+\mathrm{h} / \mathrm{R}}$
at $\mathrm{h}=\mathrm{R}, \mathrm{W}=\frac{\mathrm{mgR}}{2}$
