If one wants to remove all the mass of the earth to infinity in order to break it up completely,the amount of energy that needs to be supplied will be $\frac{x}{5} \frac{GM^2}{R}$,where $x$ is .......... (Round off to the Nearest Integer). ($M$ is the mass of earth,$R$ is the radius of earth,$G$ is the gravitational constant)

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

$A$ shell of mass $M$ and radius $R$ has a point mass $m$ placed at a distance $r$ from its centre. The gravitational potential energy $U(r)$ vs $r$ graph will be:

If $V$ is the gravitational potential due to a sphere of uniform density on its surface,then its value at the center of the sphere will be:
