    OK Thanks - I'm struggling but I'll try from there!

    I assume that the Gravitational Force Equation isn't Pe = M g Δh then because when I type "gravitational potential energy" into a search engine that's what appears! And that always assumes constant g.

    Doesn't the GPE equation assume constant gravitational pull?

    Work done against gravity with reducing gravity......

    To do this I'm given a graph showing gravity reducing non-linearly from 3.7 N/kg at the surface to 0.7 N/kg at 8 x 10^6m. I believe that the equation for a fixed gravitaional pull is E = M x G x H - however with changing gravity as the object rises - how do you calculate this?
