At what height from the surface of earth the. gravitation potential an the value of g are - 5.4x 107 J kg-1 and 6.0 ms-2 respectively? Take the radius of earth as 6400 km.

a
2600 km
b
1600 km
c
1400 km
d
2000 km

detailed solution

Correct option is A

v=−GMR+h=−5.4×107......(1)and g=GM(R+h)2=6......(2)dividing eqns. (1) and (2)⇒5.4×107(R+h)=6R +h = 9000 km so h = 2600 km
