Correct answer

D. 132Rcg[(1+hRe)32−1]\dfrac{1}{3}\sqrt{\dfrac{2{R}_{c}}{g}}\left[\left(1 + \dfrac{h}{{R}_{e}}\right)\dfrac{3}{2} - 1\right]

Step-by-step solution

A body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of earth with a velocity sufficient enough to carry it to

Applying energy conservation from ((1)to(2)\left(1\right)\text{to}\left(2\right),
12m⋅(2GMRe)−GMmRe=12mv2−GMmR+r\dfrac{1}{2}m \cdot \left(\dfrac{2GM}{{R}_{e}}\right) - \dfrac{GMm}{{R}_{e}} = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2} - \dfrac{GMm}{R + r}

⇒12mv2=GMmR+r⇒ \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2} = \dfrac{GMm}{R + r}

⇒v=2GMR+r=drdt⇒ v = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R + r}} = \dfrac{dr}{dt}

⇒2GM∫0tdt=∫ReRe+h(R+r)dr⇒ \sqrt{2GM}{∫}_{0}^{t}dt = {∫}_{{R}_{e}}^{{R}_{e} + h} ( \sqrt{R + r} ) dr

2GM⋅t=23[(R+r)32]ReRe+h\sqrt{2GM} \cdot t = \dfrac{2}{3}{\left[( R + r) \dfrac{3}{2}\right]}_{{R}_{e}}^{{R}_{e} + h}

t=23Re32GM[(1+hRe)32−1]t = \dfrac{2}{3}\sqrt{{R}_{e}^{3}2GM}\left[\left(1 + \dfrac{h}{{R}_{e}}\right)\dfrac{3}{2} - 1\right]

GMRe2=gGM{R}_{e}^{2} = g

t=132Reg[(1+hRe)32−1]t = \dfrac{1}{3}\sqrt{\dfrac{2{R}_{e}}{g}}\left[\left(1 + \dfrac{h}{{R}_{e}}\right)\dfrac{3}{2} - 1\right]
