What is the magnitude of potential energy at infinity distance?

If the gravitational field in space is given as $E = -\frac{K}{r^2}$. Taking the reference point at $r = 2\,cm$ with gravitational potential $V = 10\,J/kg$. Find the gravitational potential at $r = 3\,cm$ in $SI$ units. (Given: $K = 6\,J\cdot cm/kg$)

The masses $m$ in figures $(A)$ and $(B)$ are identical. The gravitational potential energy in the two cases are $U_A$ and $U_B$. Then

An infinite number of bodies,each of mass $2 \, kg$,are situated on the $x-$axis at distances $1 \, m, 2 \, m, 4 \, m, 8 \, m, \dots$ respectively,from the origin. The resulting gravitational potential due to this system at the origin will be:

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 $\text{ J}$)
