In a gravitational field,at a point where the gravitational potential is zero,

$A$ body of mass $m$ rises to a height $h = R/5$ from the earth's surface,where $R$ is the earth's radius. If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface,the increase in potential energy is:

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:

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 $\text{ J}$)

The gravitational field in a region is given by $\vec{g} = 5\,N/kg\hat{i} + 12\,N/kg\hat{j}$. The change in the gravitational potential energy of a particle of mass $1\,kg$ when it is taken from the origin to a point $(7\,m, -3\,m)$ is ....... $J$.
