Answer:

-2.0213\times 10^{-7}GMm\text{ J}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the force of gravity is,

F = -\frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = gravitational constant,

M = mass of earth,

m = mass of the particle,

r = distance of particle from centre of the earth,

∵ 7500 km = 7.5\times 10^6 meters

9400 km = 9.4\times 10^6 meters

Thus, work done by the force of gravity,

W=\int_{7.5\times 10^6}^{9.4\times 10^6}F. dr

=-\int_{7.5\times 10^6}^{9.4\times 10^6}\frac{GMm}{r^2}dr

=GMm[\frac{1}{r}]_{7.5\times 10^6}^{9.4\times 10^6}

=GMm(\frac{1}{9.4\times 10^6}-\frac{1}{7.5\times 10^6})

=GMm(\frac{7.5-9.4}{9.4\times 10^6})

=-GMm(\frac{1.9}{9.4\times 10^6})

\approx -2.0213\times 10^{-7}GMm\text{ J}

Where,

G = 6.67408\times 10^{-11} \text{ }m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}

M=5.972\times 10^24 \text{ kg}
