Four particles,each of mass $M$,are located at the vertices of a square with side $L$. The gravitational potential due to this system at the centre of the square is:

  • A
    $ - \sqrt{32} \frac{GM}{L} $
  • B
    $ - \sqrt{64} \frac{GM}{L^2} $
  • C
    Zero
  • D
    $ \sqrt{32} \frac{GM}{L} $

The gravitational field in a region is given by the equation $E = (5\hat{i} + 12\hat{j}) \text{ N/kg}$. If a particle of mass $2 \text{ kg}$ is moved from the origin $(0, 0)$ to the point $(12 \text{ m}, 5 \text{ m})$ in this region, the change in gravitational potential energy is: (in $\text{ J}$)
