equals P E space a t space h space minus space space P E space a t space g r o u n d space s u r f a c e
equals negative fraction numerator G M m over denominator R plus begin display style R over 5 end style end fraction minus open parentheses negative fraction numerator G M m over denominator R end fraction close parentheses
equals negative fraction numerator 5 G M m over denominator 6 R end fraction plus fraction numerator G M m over denominator R end fraction
equals fraction numerator G M m over denominator 6 R end fraction

equals fraction numerator G M m x R over denominator 6 R X R end fraction space equals fraction numerator G M m x space 5 h over denominator 6 R squared end fraction


equals fraction numerator 5 m g h over denominator 6 end fraction
