$A$ skylab of mass $m \ kg$ is first launched from the surface of the earth into a circular orbit of radius $2R$ (from the centre of the earth) and then it is shifted from this circular orbit to another circular orbit of radius $3R$. The minimum energy required to shift the lab from the first orbit to the second orbit is:
