A space craft of mass 5.9×104 kg is in orbit around a planet of 5.1×1024 kg. If the planet can be assumed to be a uniform sphere of radius 5.4×106 m and the space ship is orbit a height of 6.9×105 m above the surface what is the gravitational potential energy of the ship? [G=6.674×10-11 Nm2kg-2]

so far what I have done is used the equation for GPE( g, o- N; P' w' H$ |. X
which is 4 M1 C6 w1 k, o9 V* i8 E
