The change in potential energy, when a body of mass $m$ is raised to a height $nR$ from the earth's surface is ($R =$ Radius of earth)

A

$mgR\frac{n}{{n - 1}}$

B

$nmgR$

C

$mgR\frac{{{n^2}}}{{{n^2} + 1}}$

D

$mgR\frac{n}{{n + 1}}$

The change in potential energy, when a body of mass $m$ is raised to a height $nR$ from the earth's surface is ($R =$ Radius of earth)

$\Delta U = \frac{{mgh}}{{1 + \frac{h}{R}}} = \frac{{mg\,nR}}{{1 + \frac{{nR}}{R}}} = \frac{{nm\,gR}}{{n + 1}}$
