At what height from the surface of earth the gravitation potential and the value of $g$ are $- 5.4 \times 10^{7} J {k g}^{- 2}$ and $6.0 {m s}^{- 2}$ respectively? Take the radius of earth as $6400 k m$ .

$V = - \frac{G M}{R + h} = - 5.4 \times 10^{7}$ ....... (1)

$g = \frac{G M}{(R + h)^{2}} = 6$ ...... (2)

Dividing the two equations, we get:

$\Rightarrow \frac{5.4 \times 10^{7}}{(R + h)} = 6$

$\Rightarrow R + h = 9000 k m$

$\Rightarrow h = 2600 k m$

At what height from the surface of earth the gravitation potential and the value of g are −5.4×107 Jkg−2 and 6.0 ms−2 respectively? Take the radius of earth as 6400 km.

V=−GMR+h=−5.4×107 ....... (1)g=GM(R+h)2=6 ...... (2)Dividing the two equations, we get:⇒5.4×107(R+h)=6⇒R+h=9000 km⇒h=2600 km
