A lunar module weighs 12 tons on the surface of the Earth.

A lunar module weighs 12 tons on the surface of the Earth. How much work is done in propelling the module from the surface of the moon to a height of 55 miles? Consider the radius of the moon to be 1100 miles (from the center of the moon) and its force of gravity to be one-sixth that of Earth.
