The gravitational potential at a point above the surface of earth is $\displaystyle -5.12 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}$ and the acceleration due to gravity at that point is $\displaystyle 6.4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$. Assume that the mean radius of earth to be $\displaystyle 6400$ km . The height of this point above the earth's surface is :
Official answer
From NTA’s final answer key for this paper.
