Homework Statement
Calculate the difference in time after one year between a clock at Earth's surface and a clock on a satellite orbiting at 300 km above the surface
Homework Equations
T = T0 / (1 - 2gR/c^2)^.5
That is, this:

The Attempt at a Solution
I don't understand how to use this equation to get the difference between the clock on the satellite and the clock on the surface. Do I just take the value of T with R = Earth's radius, and again with R = Earth's radius + 300 km, and take the difference?
