The intensity of gravitational field at a point situated at earth’s surface is 2.5 N/kg. Calculate the gravitational potential at that point. Given: radius of earth, . 

At a point above the surface of the earth, the gravitational potential is  and the acceleration due to gravity is 6.4 ms^–2. Assuming the mean radius of the earth to be 6400 km, calculate the height of this point above the earth’s surface.   

The mass of the earth is  and its radius is  m. How much work will be done in taking a 10-kg body from the surface of the earth to infinity? What will be the gravitational potential energy of the body on the earth’s surface? If this body falls from infinity to the earth, what will be its velocity when striking the earth? 

The radius of earth is 6400 km and mass is  kg. What will be the gravitational potential energy of a body of 200 kg placed at a height of 600 km from the surface of the earth?
