How much work is required to lift a 1400-kg satellite to an altitude of 2⋅106 m above the surface of the Earth? The gravitational force is F=GMm/r2, where M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the satellite, and r is the distance between the satellite and the Earth's center. The radius of the Earth is 6.4⋅106 m, its mass is 6⋅1024 kg, and in these units the gravitational constant, G, is 6.67⋅10-11.
