The gravitational potential energy required to raise a satellite of mass $m$ to a height $h$ above the Earth's surface is $E_1$. Let the energy required to put this satellite into orbit at the same height be $E_2$. If $M$ and $R$ are the mass and radius of the Earth respectively,then the ratio $E_1: E_2$ is:
