The energy required to take a satellite to a height $h$ above the Earth's surface (radius of Earth $R = 6.4 \times 10^3 \, km$) is $E_1$,and the kinetic energy required for the satellite to be in a circular orbit at this height is $E_2$. The value of $h$ for which $E_1 = E_2$ is:

$A$ skylab of mass $m \ kg$ is first launched from the surface of the earth into a circular orbit of radius $2R$ (from the centre of the earth) and then it is shifted from this circular orbit to another circular orbit of radius $3R$. The minimum energy required to shift the lab from the first orbit to the second orbit is:
