with what velocity should a body be thrown up so that it rise to a height equal to the radius of the earth(g=10ms- 2at the surface)?

When the body is thrown , the work is done against the gravitational attraction.
Small work done in taking the body by a distance dx,
dW=Fdx=GMmx2dxTherefore, the work done in taking the body to a height equal to the radius of the earth,W=R2RGMmx2dxW=GMmR2Rx-2dxW=GMmx-2+1-2+1R2RW=-GMm1xR2R=-GMm12R-1R=-GMmR-2R2R2W=GMm2RThis work is done at the cost of the kinetic energy given to the body,K.E=GMm2R12mv2=GMm2Rv=GMR=GMR2×R=gR=10×6.4×106=8×103 m/s
