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 $\text{ J}$)

Gravitational potential difference between the surface of a planet and a point situated at a height of $20\,m$ above its surface is $2\,J/kg$. If the gravitational field is uniform,then the work done in taking a $5\,kg$ body to a height of $4\,m$ above the surface will be ........ $J$.
