9. The earth has a mass of 5.97x1024 kg, and a radius of 6.38x106 m. What work does it take to bring a 5.00 kg object from the surface of the earth to an elevation of 4.15x106 m above the earth’s surface? How does that compare to the same calculation using Ep =mgh, where we assume g is a uniform 9.81 N/kg
