14–83. A rocket of mass m is fired vertically from the surface
of the earth, i.e., atr = r. Assuming that no mass is lost as it
travels upward, determine the work it must do against gravity
to reach a distance n. The force of gravity is F = GM,m/²
(Eq. 13–1), where M is the mass of the earth and r the distance
between the rocket and the center of the earth.
If (g) is the acceleration due to gravity
on the earth's surface, the gain in the potential
energy of an object of mass (m) raised from the
surface of the earth to a height equal to the
radius (R) of the earth is :
