\mathrm{\text { Initial } P .E . =P E_i=-\frac{G M m}{R} }

\mathrm{\text { Final PE. } =P E_f=\frac{-G M m}{(R+h)}=\frac{-G M m}{4 R} }

\mathrm{\Delta P E =PE_f-P E_i }

\mathrm{=\frac{3}{4} \frac{G M m}{R} }

\mathrm{=\frac{3 \mathrm{mgR}}{4}=\frac{3}{4} \times 1 \times 10 \times 6400\times 10^{3} }

\mathrm{\triangle P E =48 \mathrm{MJ}}
