Olympus Mons is the largest mountain on Mars at a height of 22 km above the surface. Mars has a mass of 6.42x1023 kg and has a mean radius of 3386 km. If you are an astronaut with a mass of 100 kg standing on top of Olympus Mons, what is your gravitational potential energy? Use the surface of the planet as h = 0 m.
